SPECIALISM SUCCESS
All Hallows is part of the Ensemble project and we are pleased that the project has been awarded funding by the Department for Education for a second year. In the first year we focused on primary languages teaching. In the second year we will look at easing transition from primary to secondary school in languages.
Lord Jesus, we thank you for the gift of Pentecost and for new life in the Holy Spirit. Fill us with your Holy Spirit and set ours hearts ablaze with the fire of your love that we may serve you in joy and freedom. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen
DINNER MONEY FOR LEAVERS SUPPORTING YOUR CHILD IN EXAMS
Supporting your child through their GCSE's can be difficult. One top tip is how to cope when your child falls behind with work. The solution would be to help them prioritise their work load and create a plan that helps get the balance right with college work and social time. To help with this all Year 11 students have been given a revision pack, that includes a revision timetable, which students are completing this week. Please ask to see the revision timetable your child will bring home and have a conversation around it. Future Link Publishing have also produced a useful guide for parents that contains 101 top tips to help. This can be accessed using the following link: http://www.futurelinkpublishing.co.uk/publish/publications/ GCSE.html. YEAR 5 PARENT OPEN MORNING
It’s that time of year again! As students prepare to leave All Hallows, we are mindful that many of them will have balances on their school meal accounts. Please be aware that any balances below £5.00 will not be refunded. With this in mind, can you ask your children to run down their account balance as they get towards the end of the school year? Any balances over £5.00 can either be refunded or transferred to another sibling staying at All Hallows. Unfortunately, no money can be transferred to trips as the school meals money goes directly to our outside caterer. If you have any questions, please contact the Finance Office finance@allhallows.org.uk or 01625 426138. Thank you for your continued support.
