This week we welcome year 11 students back from their self-isolation and study leave period to complete, what we are calling, their Year 11 CAG examinations. These examinations will not only be the first real test for Year 11 following the long period of lockdown, they will also act as a big piece of evidence that we may use if we are in a similar position as this year. Good luck boys. It is nice to have you back.
Last Friday, Jon Sopel,
the BBC North America Correspondent was involved in a video-call from
Washington D.C. with three of our students. Jon Sopel is
internationally-renowned; he has recently been covering the U.S. Election,
making visits to the White House, and appears on TV regularly. He has
interviewed the President on numerous occasions and is also the author of two
brilliant books. Chris Haywood, Ellie Breeze and Liam Turner, all of Year 13,
enjoyed asking questions on the students’ behalf, with their call being
recorded and later broadcast to the rest of the school at a later date. This
was an amazing opportunity for all, and thank you to the students who made all
of the arrangements.
