I will endeavour to put into place my pledges which include:

• To provide a robust curriculum to prepare your child to journey through their education with maximum success;
• To enhance our strong links with businesses and with educational institutions to enable every student at our school to have purpose and value;
• To continue to offer the family values that the school has already put in place;  to reward and acknowledge the overwhelming majority who apply the positive mind set every day and achieve through hard work, and many other things.  To also re-iterate the very clear behaviour standards and to ask for your supportive action when required.
• To offer more effective communication at appropriate times, including to parents/carers and students.
•  Ultimately, to open up the opportunities to being an even more listening and reflective school. To this end I will ensure that the frequent opportunity to prove with everyone engaged with the school  “We asked, You said, We did” is a culture of what we do to improve.

 I look forward to meeting you over the next few weeks and months.

Best wishes

We are covering the AQA PPE for the first week. Now is the time (if you haven't already) to up the revision in the build up to our GCSEs.

Over the last two years KSCS has been aiming to underpin many of our school activities through the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA), which were as follows:

• How to make your school or setting genuinely welcoming to parents and carers.
• How to communicate really effectively with parents and carers.
• How to get all parents and carers involved with the school – particularly the ‘harder to reach’.
• How to engage all staff in working effectively with parents and carers.
• How to support parents and carers so they can really help with their children’s learning.
• Finding time to plan and organise events and activities to engage parents.
• Coping with limited physical space and resources.
• How to best use information and communications technology to enhance parent partnership.
• Increasing parental engagement in the context of the safeguarding agenda.
• Knowing how well you are doing and the impact parent partnership is having on pupils’ and students’ achievement.

We will continue in developing our parent partnership through the LPPA Objectives, we are hoping to have long term successes for KSCS in the form of:

• Improved student punctuality, attendance and behaviour.
• Improved student progress.
• Increased parental involvement in consultation events and learning activities.
• Increased number and range of parents actively involved with the school.

There were over 200 students taking part in two separate sessions from our local feeder primary school: William Law, Norwood and Werrington. The students took part in different activities to improve their core skills such as Running, Balance and Throwing in different sporting activities. The students were expertly guided by our student leaders. The students all enjoyed their time here and found the event very enjoyable to take part in. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the student leaders that assisted me with this event.
