Just a reminder about this event next Tuesday 26th June from 5.30 to 6.30. The Madrid Crew are looking forward to sharing their journals and experiences with you. Please park in Rovers Car Park 3 for the evening.
Year 9 will have their end of year examinations at the end of this term, in the week commencing 16th July.
Students will sit one GCSE style examination paper in each of the following core subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Science
- History
- Spanish
Over the coming weeks the focus of C22’s crew sessions will shift from their Duke of Edinburgh Award to preparation for these examinations and building a sensible revision plan.
Student performance in these examinations will determine the nature and level of support that they receive both in and out of sessions in Year 10.
We have a large amount of lost property. This has been out on display for students to look at, the pictures below is what’s left. If you recognise anything that might belong to your Son/Daughter please come to reception to claim.
Any items left at the end of term will be donated to charity in the summer holidays.
C24 has their “Where is away?” Presentation of Learning on Tuesday 10th July. They will each be involved in presenting to a panel in their small groups of 5 students.
Part of their product is a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) which is due in tomorrow for marking.
Students who do not hand in a finished LCA tomorrow with need to attended school to catch up next Friday (which is a staff day) as authorised by Mr Sprakes. Parents/guardians will be notified via letter next Wednesday if this is the case for your child.
If your child is absent from school on 10th July, they will need to complete their section of the Presentation of Learning during community crew.
C23 Admiral had a deadline today for this piece of extended study. Missing work will be taken in tomorrow morning or completed during lunchtime
C23 Skipper have an extension to their deadline until Monday 25th June
Please find attached details of the end of year examinations for C21. Psychology and Geography exams are for those students who have those as their choice GCSE. Other students in other choice subjects will have full examinations where appropriate before the end of the calendar year.
I am really pleased to say we have two Cricket fixtures for Key stage 3 approaching. We are playing Adwick tomorrow (21st June) and Hungerhill on Monday 25th. Both fixtures will take place after school and both are away from home. I hope to have us back for around 5:30 – 6 o’clock but please be prepared to receive updates from your child.
The students should wear cricket whites if they have them and are welcome to bring any personal cricket equipment which I will happily store safely. Otherwise normal PE kit (I would suggest tracksuit bottoms) is absolutely fine. As ever students should equip themselves with water and sunblock in case it’s hot and a additional layer in case it is cold. Any question please contact me.
The students involved are;
