Dear Parents and Carers,
With only one week left until the half term break, I will take this opportunity to praise our resilient Year 11 and Year 13 students for all their hard work and resilience in preparing for the exams they are now sitting. It is an extremely busy time for these students, with the whole community cheering them on.
In the midst of this whirlwind of a week, it was wonderful to witness Student Leaders interviewing candidates for the role of Transition Ambassador today (Friday 16 May). These students are going to support with our transition events for the Year 6 students joining us in September and continue to help these children when they arrive in the autumn. I was so proud of how all the students involved conducted themselves during the interviews. It will be a transformational transition for our new Year 7s.
Have a great weekend.
Yours faithfully,
Dr J Simpson
This week in Year 8 Design and Technology, the students have been cutting wood joints, focusing on mitre and lap joints in preparation for their bird boxes.
Miss Cockayne has been impressed with their resilience and the high level of skill shown while using various tools and equipment.
Their ability to tackle challenges with confidence deserves a big well done. I can't wait to see how their bird boxes turn out—if this week is any indication, we’re in for some fantastic results!
