Thank you to Mr Holmes,
Mr Goddard, Mr Chapman and a number of students who joined me on Sunday
supporting the charity football match at Gallagher Stadium in aid of the Young
Lives Foundation: a charity that supports vulnerable and disadvantaged young
people in Kent. It was an enjoyable
afternoon which raised a lot of money for the charity. Thank you also to everyone who contributed a
£1 at last Friday’s non-uniform day; another example of how charitable we are
as a school. We raised in excess of
£1000. Thank you and well done.
Today Year 12 are off
timetable learning more about the UCAS process.
Ms Kruppa has put a very exciting programme together which includes
outside speakers who hopefully will provide some motivating and inspirational
words for the students. The day follows
last night’s Year 12 UCAS Evening where parents came in to hear from key staff
about all things UCAS and the world of work, and follows yesterday afternoon’s
Mock Results Day where students received the grades for their recent
examinations.
Tomorrow Year 12 are
again off timetable to take part in a PSHCE themed day. Students will experience a number of
different workshops from first aid training and drug awareness to how to look
after themselves financially.
Also, today and tomorrow
I am out of school attending the Grammar School Heads’ Association annual
conference. Each year all of the grammar
school headteachers across the country meet in London to share thoughts and
ideas about their roles and how they can all work together to support each
other. The conference is always very
informative. This year’s key note
speaker is the Rt Hon Nick Gibb MP, Education Minister, and in fact Old
Maidstonian.
