We would like to start by thanking all of our Year 11 parents/carers who attended the Year 11 Revision Evening on Wednesday. From the feedback we have received, we are pleased that students and parents/carers found it useful and informative. Please keep an eye on our Year 11 website page - this will be updated regularly with valuable information. Although exams may seem a while away, the time will disappear quickly, so please do encourage your child to take advantage of every opportunity to enhance their chances of success.
On Wednesday, 28th January, we are looking forward to inviting Year 9 parents/carers in for Parents' Evening. This will be an important opportunity to discuss which subjects are being successful ahead of the Options process, which we will launch later this half term.
Dr Clarkson has led assemblies based on the topic of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). This is always important as it highlights the breadth of future pathways and opportunities for our young people which they may not initially consider otherwise.
Last week we touched upon the use of mobile phones in school. We will be writing to you more formally at the start of next week about this topic, so please do look out for a letter from us.
Next week, our secondary school community will be exploring the theme of courage. Courage is not only a character trait we admire, but also a skill that can be learned and strengthened over time. It involves facing challenges, speaking up, trying again after setbacks, and making positive choices even when things feel difficult. Courage is closely linked to resilience, as it helps students recover from challenges, grow through experiences, and develop confidence in themselves and their abilities. These are such important skills in the world today.
We hope you have a lovely weekend.
