What’s new? Happy New Year! The calendar year started with Upper Sixth Preliminary
Examinations and we’d like to congratulate them on the serious approach they have
taken to this. University offers are being received thick and fast now and we’re
excited to report four very generous offers from Oxford have already been received!
Year 11s Prelims. were completed just before Christmas and they have their
“Results Assembly” next Thursday 17th January where they will receive
Preliminary results and have some time to reflect and consider their outcomes and
how they can improve on these between now and the summer examinations.
Evaluating outcomes is an important part of learning; they need to consider which
subjects they achieved well in and identify why this was so successful and where
they have underperformed and consider whether this was due to examination
technique, careless errors, their writing style and accuracy, retention of knowledge
or a lack of quality revision that let them down. Revision is best when it is frequent
and in short bursts with lots of opportunities to recap knowledge, recall information
and re-present this in different ways.
Parents can help by providing a quiet environment, removing phones and social
media during these periods and providing lots of water and a few chocolate biscuits!
You can also provide revision guides, flashcards and test them regularly on
formulae, facts and quotations. You might consider reading set texts for English
alongside them or watching films associated with texts or key topics so you can
engage in discussion and debate on these over the dinner table! You can also take a
text book and ask them questions posed on a particular topic to see how much they
can recall confidently or look on Youtube with them for associated videos that can
enrich and support their learning. The curriculum pages on our website provide a
good starting point.
Course counselling is also pending for Year 11; we have been inundated with Sixth
form applications this year which is a credit to our outstanding Sixth Form team.
Many of our Year 11s are among those applications. Senior staff will be
interviewing them all this half term to ensure they have made aspirational but
realistic decisions, understand the implications of their choices and have a plan B!
We are all too aware that their health and well-being is the most important
consideration; our tutors, Year Leaders, Pastoral Managers, Student Inclusion
Manager, Mental Health Champion and, of course, subject staff are all here to help
or sign-post you to more specialist support. Sleeping well, eating well, exercising
and keeping hydrated are as important as acquiring knowledge in the preparation for
examinations.
We wish all our Year 11 and Upper
Sixth the very best wishes for the
months ahead,
Mrs Gee, Headteacher
Bulletin 14/1/19

Meet some of our new Year 9 Student
Councillors:
John Porter joined Student Council so that he could be
an ambassador for mental health to help raise
awareness. He feels that it is important that all students
feel safe and supported in school.
Jesulayomi Bello believed it would be a good
experience for her to join Student Council and to be
able to speak on the students’ behalf on any issues that
may arise.
Kate Myall thought that joining the Student Council
would improve her self-confidence. She would like to
help improve the school
for future students.
They are happy for
students to approach them
about any ideas or
concerns they have that
they could share with the
rest of the Student
Council.
A big well done to all the students who took part
in this term’s Book
Bingo competition. Over
2700 books have been
read by Yr7 and 8 which
is an excellent total.
Congratulations in
particular to Bianca
Stefan & Maya Sidhu
(7E), Catalina
McDermott & Noelle
Subrt Holly (7T), Ana
Karina Le Bihan Habig
(8A), Erin Crome (8C),
Ana Vasquez (8M) and
Sophie Davis (8S) for
achieving their gold certificate, reading a ‘Full
House’ of 25 books.
The class who has read the most books was 7T,
reading 244 between them.
Congratulations to everyone from the Library
Team.
Please remember to label
all items of clothing,
bags, shoes etc and then
if they are misplaced we
will have more success

SIXTH FORM FOCUS
A word from the Sixth Form: As we return from the holidays, the Upper Sixth are now well into
their Preliminary Public Examinations (PPE’s) before their
real exams this summer. The students have been
conducting themselves as we would expect and adhering
to formal examination conditions, so I wish them the best
of luck. We look forward to sharing their results and
reflecting upon them in our Upper Sixth Prelim results
session on the 31st January. As we approach the deadline
for UCAS applications I am also once again encouraged
by the number of students who have used the support
offered in school to submit applications for both
university admission and Higher Level Apprenticeships,
the results of which I hope to share with you shortly.
Finally, good luck to the Lower Sixth, who will be taking
part in mini-Prelim examinations in classes for the
majority of their subjects over the next few weeks. I
encourage them to work hard for these as preparation for
their more formal set of PPE’s in the summer.
Mr Newton, Director of Sixth Form
