This week
Year 7, 9 and 10 join Year 11 and 13 in completing their end of year
examinations. All the students in Years
7, 9 and 10 will complete examinations in a number of subjects which will then
provide a detailed analysis on how they have progressed during the year. Good luck to the boys and I hope that they
have been revising hard.
Yesterday
the Senior Leadership Team spent the day away from school working on a number
of things in preparation for next year.
It is always this time of year when a lot of work takes place for the
new academic year, and being away from school allows for a clear head and no
distractions. From now we are able to
put together the 2017-18 School Development Plan which draws our attention to
key areas we wish to see develop.
Tonight I
am attending the final full governors meeting of the year. At every full governors meeting I compile a
report in how MGS has developed and what we have been working on since the last
meeting. It is also a chance for me to
inform the governors of the outcomes of the previous day.
Tomorrow
evening I have invited some neighbours who live around the school site to join
me in looking at the plans for the new pavilion. It is really important we engage our
neighbours with such matters and understand from them their thoughts and
ideas. I look forward to welcoming them.
I am very
excited about Thursday night’s Parents’ Association event. I am a huge snooker fan and was brought up on
the vintage snooker years of the 1980s.
The six-time world champion Steve Davis will be here at MGS playing a
few frames of snooker and entertaining the audience with some funny stories and
providing an insight into his life.
Tickets are still available.
And
finally congratulation to Hamish Reilly of Year 9 who took part in the National
Youth Triathlon Super Series event in Llanelli last weekend. It was Hamish’s first race at this level and
he finished in a very credible 6th place. Coming out of the swim he was in 31st
place but then had a fantastic bike segment which put him into 8th
place going into the run. Well done
Hamish.
