Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who supported last week’s charity day which was in support of the Teenage Cancer Trust. Considering the circumstances, and the fact that Year 13 students were not here, we did extremely well, raising £1302.73. We should all be very proud of this, and thank you to the Year 12 prefects who helped out.
This week, for the
first time ever, MGS is staging autumn public examinations. With there being no GCSE and A-Level
examinations in the summer there is now a series of examinations for those
students from last year’s Year 11 and Year 13 who wish to sit them. A handful of students have made this choice,
and so we wish them well.
This week we are
continuing to make preparations for our Year 6 virtual open event. Under the current circumstances we are sadly
not able to welcome the wider community into the school, so we are having to do
things differently. So, students and
staff have been working really hard to move what we normally do, online. The open event, which will go live in a
couple of weeks, will include a speech from me, a speech from the School
Captain and a Year 7 student, and a virtual tour of the school. We hope that perspective parents and their
sons find the presentations useful.
