NEWSLETTER Friday 28th June
Dear parents and carers, Our Year 10 mock exams continue and we are very proud of the majority of students who have approached them with such determination and resilience. Year 9 exams start next week and we expect our students to revise in preparation, using the revision strategies shared in a recent assembly to support this process. Our Year 13s had their leavers’ ball last Friday and we hope this gave our sixth formers a fabulous send off. We aim to do the same with our brilliant Year 11s this evening at their prom at Northwood House. We are delighted that we this is not a goodbye for the vast majority of the year group, who re-join us again in September. This Monday we hold our Sixth Form Induction Day, which gives students the opportunity to find out more about sixth form courses, meet each other and team build, and start to put their bespoke charters together. Our sixth form charter provides a set of guaranteed experiences appropriate to sixth form life and university preparation, and ranges from Duke of Edinburgh and Young Enterprise, through to volunteering and timetabled weekly work experience opportunities. It also includes regular and deep career and university support experiences such as our Oxbridge and Medicine programmes. Congratulations to all our students for their contributions to Sports Day which is always a real highlight of the summer term. We managed to have an afternoon of sunshine in spite of the yellow weather warnings and the ice cream van was still busy! This afternoon really represented our ethos of team spirit and inclusivity. I continue to enjoy my parent surgeries as meeting parents and hearing your thoughts is key for me. This term my parent surgeries continue on Tuesday afternoons. Please either email dharrison@cowesec.org or phone the school on 01983 203103 asking for Donna Harrison to book a pre-booked slot.
