Hi Everyone!
It was great to welcome so many parents/guardians of GCSE and A Level students into school last night. Whilst we will do everything possible to prepare our students for their Examinations, it is great to know that our students are well supported at home and together, this partnership will ensure that they succeed in gaining the highest grades possible in their forthcoming exams. Thank you parents/guardians for your support.
World Mental Health Day occurred on Tuesday 10th. It is so important for all of us to look after our mental health: ‘Caring for the mind is as important as caring for the body. In fact, one cannot be healthy without the other.’ With simple activities that help us feel ok, we are better able to cope with life. Go on, try something new – it usually gets easier the more we practise it.
The Careers Department are always extremely busy in school promoting universities, courses and future pathways for our students. Engineering is one example with a wide range of opportunities available. Check out our website for an exciting event happening next week.
Best of luck to 4 of our U-20 Ladies who attended All Star Trials on Tuesday.
I have had great individual indepth discussion about Exam Results and target setting with our Middle Leaders both this week and last. This is a great opportunity to meet with leaders throughout October, and see how they and their departments, contribute to the ongoing success of our young people. Everyone plays an amazing part in our school.
And – another week closer to Calamity Jane – I hope you’ve got your tickets for this fantastic show!
Have a great weekend
