Obviously this is going to be an important term for all students as they consolidate their learning over the year. However, Year 9, Year11 and the Sixth Form students have a particular challenge in achieving well in SATs, GCSE , AS and A2 examinations.
All our students are being supported in preparation for these challenges and, as usual things are getting very hectic and there will be the possibility of some students beginning to feel somewhat stressed. Our advice, as always, is not to leave everything until the last minute and we have supported each student in developing a revision plan to avoid this. Our staff are always available to support students.
As well as pursuing success in academic areas we would also like to share success in many other areas:-
A large number of our students have now completed their Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards and attended a celebratory presentation at County Hall.
Our congratulations go to Emma Sanders who won 5 gold and 2 silver medals in the World Martial Arts championships.
Four pupils from years 8 and 9 attended the Regional Maths Challenge finals at Swanwick Hall in Derbyshire; they came 6 th out of 30 teams.
Year 9 pupils have been practising for the Regional Formula One Maths Challenge . This involves using maths skills to calculate safe speeds, fuel consumption etc. They are currently competing against each other for the winning team to go through to the national final.
A group of Year 11 and 12 students became involved in the Young Enterprise Company programme. They have created a company yabadabajobs.com which has been entered into the area finals. Check out the website.
This will be a busy term in many many ways and all the activities are reflected in the calendar on this website, including the exam timetable
