Happy New Year!

Welcome back to school! I hope everyone has had a great holiday and is well rested for a busy few weeks ahead. This week we have a Human Rights enquiry project going on. For this, Year 9 pupils will be teamed up with Year 8 pupils to choose a Huamn Right to focus on and find out about and then on Thursday and Friday the mixed Year group teams will have to present their right and ideas to advertise it to a panel of judges. More to follow on this..........

IMPORTANT GCSE Options Information:

We also have an important IGCSE options discussion evening FOR PARENTS ONLY this Thursday the 8th of January.  Mr Wellings and myself will be outlining the choices that pupils have to make and give some ideas about how parents can help their children in this process. The session will be held in the Grand Hall from 7.30-8.30pm

Activities to help pupils with their IGCSE subject options will begin next week. On Monday and Tuesday Year 9's will attend taster sessions for all of the different IGCSE subjects. Paper copies of the timetable for these taster sessions will be distributed during AM tutor time on Monday morning but you can see this now via the link below. Please note that pupils will be in tutor groups for the taster sessions and they will replace periods 3 and 4 on Monday and periods 1 and 2 on Tuesday.

Following these sessions pupils will have an opportunity to look through the IGCSE options e-book during tutor times and they will be encouraged to think carefully about their choices by completing various activities. There will also be an options assembly for pupils in the week starting Monday 19th of January. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Kind Regards, Dr, Browning
