Message from the Principal
Introducing a special student This week I would like to single out one particular student out of many talented students that we have within the school. Cheyanne is in year seven and I would like to share with you how much she keeps a wonderful outlook on life and really pushes herself to reach her goals.
Hello, my name is Cheyanne Ferreday and I’m only 11 years old. I have been learning archery for two years now and I love it with a passion. It started when I was sitting with my Dad watching the Olympic games. Since I was a baby I’ve been in and out of Great Ormond Street Hospital because I have a lot of problems with my wind pipe, lungs and voice box. I am also fed through my stomach by a thing called a Mic-key button. These things have not stopped me doing most normal things! Since November last year I have been working hard on my archery skills and have won 5 gold medals, 5 silver medals, 1 bronze and many badges. One of these badges was the Rose Award badge that I won for a score of 984 and has got my name in the Archery UK magazine. My goals are to continue to work hard and to be a Paralympian for Team GB and to show the whole world I can do it. However, my biggest goal is to get my level 1 and 2 coaching badges so I can help people similar to myself unlock their potential.
The importance of PPEs Pre Public Examinations are now underway for Year 11 students. We stopped naming these examinations ‘mocks’ or ‘internals’ as we want every student to understand they serve as a benchmark on what they have secured and what they have not yet mastered. To prepare effectively for these PPEs a growth mind-set philosophy is vital. A true reflection of your child’s ability provides a fantastic snapshot of what they can do and what they genuinely need. This will enable us to provide support for them in what they should master in the 90 school days left until the public examinations start in May. Effective revision techniques have been shared with students in assemblies this week. I have attached the timetable for the forthcoming Year 11 PPE’s for your interest. Best wishes
Bryan Erwin Year 11 Revision Sessions
A reminder to students (and parents) that the year 11 revision sessions are happening every day after school. The timetable shows which subjects are on what days and what rooms the sessions will be running in. We would like to encourage all year 11 students to attend these sessions in order to boost their progress. There are only 22 teaching weeks until the first exam so try to make every day count! To access the timetable, please click here Mr T Hussain Y11 Science PPE Revision
To prepare well for your upcoming PPEs and future exams you will need to be revising regularly and effectively. To help you I have been holding after school revision sessions every Wednesday. Your attendance is strongly recommended. We do not run revision sessions in school holidays as the whole course is covered in term time, so please plan your revision time carefully. Posters around Block 1 will inform you of the topics covered. Alternatively, if you have specific questions, please email your question to Mr Mantell or Miss Farrell in advance (if possible) and attend the Monday after school catch-up session. I have attached a very good resource from Edexcel to help you with your revision. Please take the time to download it and read the relevant sections. Remember to save it too for revision later on. If you work effectively and do your best you won't need good luck! Mrs Young The Worry Box and Board Help
This week we have introduced our Worry Box. We took inspiration from a very successful, similar version at another school in Peterborough. Students can write a question or what’s on their mind and post it in the worry box. No names are needed so it’s all anonymous. Once each week, our wellbeing staff members will empty the box and get together with members of the team to write responses. Those responses will be displayed in the clouds on our Board. We hope many will benefit from reading those responses. When I was growing up, I remember reading the ‘Agony Aunt’ page in my teen magazines. Nowadays I think they are named something different but I do remember finding it helpful to read the response to something I identified with.

Mrs J Purdy Attendance
Success continues to hold the attendance lead this week. It is the season for illness, 99 pupils was absent due to sickness last week. Can I remind parents that we do need a medical note from the doctors on the 3rd day of illness. 47 pupils was absent due to medical appointments. If possible could we request that these are outside of school hours unless absolutely necessary. This is so that all pupils can make the most out of the lessons. Lets try to build this attendance as it has a direct impact on final GCSE results. "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" Nelson Mandela"
