The next few weeks are a busy time, not least for parents of Year 9 students, who are invited to the Pathways Evening 1 February, 6.00-7.30pm. This will help us decide which are the best subjects for your son/daughter to study in Year 10. It is a vitally important evening where key information is explained therefore I urge you to book this in your busy diaries now.
Parents' Forum
Next week is the second Parents' Forum held on Wednesday 25 January 6.00-7.00pm in the Conference Room. The proposed presentations and focus will be on:
- The launch of new PiXL Edge pastoral programme lead by Mrs Boughton, Assistant Principal
- English At years 10 +11 explained, led by Ms Martin, Assistant Principal, Head of English
- Q&A and AOB
Educational Visits - acknowledgement of enrichment opportunities
I wish to thank the Art and PE faculties, and Careers staff for taking students away from school this week and the parents for their support in allowing this. It does provide a much more enriched experience than can be provided within school. I know the students will have or will appreciate the time taken by staff in order for these events to take place.
Letters and communication
I am always keen to gain feedback from anyone connected with the school or community. A good flow of communication between us vital and I accept that there have been times where, for one reason or another, we need to work harder. Following feedback from a number of parents, it appears letters getting home have been a particular issue, leading to various consequences.
With this in mind, all letters will now be attached to this newsletter on a weekly basis and emailed out where we have your email address. This will not stop letters from physically going home, however, I hope it should provide another avenue to ensure the messages get home to you!
Best wishes
Bryan Erwin
Acting Principal
