Message from the Head of School. Last week was another busy week for our students. The Year 9 Exams Week continued and I was very proud of the hard work and effort our students put towards this and rose to the challenge. On Monday we held the Parent Consultation Meeting and I would like to thank all the parents that attended and I would like to ask if you could complete the survey that has been emailed to you, a link to which is available on our school website. I would also like to take the opportunity to congratulate our PTA for a wonderful Christmas Market and thank them for all their hard work; they raised £700 for the school. I would like to thank all the parents that attended our Year 11 Parents evening week had a superb turn out and hope that that the feedback you received from your child’s teachers will help you to support them through this important year. The rest of this term will be extremely busy, so I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of some key events happening over the coming weeks. This coming Monday 4th December, we are holding the Parents Forum, 6pm in the 6th Form Study Room (entrance by Brook Road), all parents / carers are welcome to attend. We will be discussing our plans to create a new house system as we feel this will encourage even more positivity into our student body. The rationale is to further increase student aspirations / participation by creating more competitions and enrichment activities. It should also encourage friendships across the year groups and provide leadership roles within the 6th Form. At the moment the proposal is still under discussion. But will be 5 houses with the students selecting the house names, including the wearing of a house tie. The proposal will be student driven and will have a structured calendar of events. The school council and student body are really keen; we would like to now consult with the parents. On Tuesday 6th December, we are holding our GCSE Winter Music Concert, the event starts at 6:30pm. This event will be a showcase of GCSE Music and it should be a wonderful event, tickets are available through ParentPay and cost £3.00 for an adult and £2.00 for concessions. Thursday 7th December is the Sixth Form Open Evening; I look forward to seeing many of you there. Doors open at 6pm, Headteacher talk at 6.30pm. Tuesday 12th December our students will be performing a production of Peter Pan, the event will start at 7pm, we ask all guests to arrive at 6:30pm so that the event can start promptly. Tickets cost £5.00 and are available through ParentPay.
