Welcome
back everyone; I hope you all had a good Christmas, and Happy New Year.
The
term has started well with a number of events already underway. Last week years 7 and 8 had an assembly to
hear about their new homework timetable which they will now be working from. Year 12 also had an assembly to hear about
the process that now begins to find the next Senior Prefect Team and next
School Captain and School Vice-Captain. We await their applications.
This
week Year 8 students are completing examinations to help them make more
informed choices when deciding upon their GCSE options. And at the same time Year 13 students are
continuing to revise for their mock examinations that take place next week.
On
Thursday this week we welcome parents of Year 9 students to attend the Year 9
Parents’ Evening. This is the first
opportunity that parents will hear about their child’s progress following the
beginning of the three-year GSCE period which started back in September.
Congratulations
to Simon Coppard of Corpus Christi House who has been accepted on the 2018
Advanced Academy in Sporting Excellence Programme. He is one of only 200 athletes, chosen by the
National Governing Body, to have been selected to participate in this National
Sports Qualification. Well done Simon.
