I start this week’s blog with a thank you to the Art Department. Last week’s Art Exhibition was excellent. A number of students whose work was on display were in attendance, and they were joined by their parents, staff and friends of the school. Congratulations to the three prize winners in years 11, 12 and 13, and a huge thank you to the caretakers and Mrs Morton for once again spending many hours setting up the exhibition.
This week is the last week of the GCSE and A level examinations. Year 11 and Year 13 have been working incredibly hard during these last few weeks, and I am sure that they are relieved the examinations are coming to an end. For those last few who have yet to finish: keep going, the end is in sight.
Today is the Year 10 Parents’ Evening where parents will hear from their child’s teachers how their child is getting on. Following the Year 10 examinations at the end of April, the upcoming Year 11 mock examinations in November, and the thoughts of life beyond Year 11, there will be lots to talk about. I hope the evening is a positive one for many.
At the end of the week a group of students, accompanied by
Ms Alloy and Mr Pinn, will be heading off to the New Forest to complete their
Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award Expedition.
In addition, a group of year 9 army cadets, accompanied by the CCF Army
Section, will be enjoying a weekend in Mereworth Woods completing a number of
exercises in preparation for the summer camp in a couple of weeks.
