Welcome back to school and to the start of Term 2. Here we are in November already, and whilst Americans vote in the US election, we begin the process of supporting year 11 students with their thoughts and ideas of life beyond GCSE. Last night we welcomed parents of Year 11 to attend our Year 11 Information Evening: an evening where parents understand how we guide their children through the next couple of months as they consider what they want to do. Part of that process are the upcoming Year 11 mock exams that start next week. These mock exams will form part of what Year 11 will use to help them identify what their strengths are what they may wish to consider studying at A-level. Good luck to Year 11 over the coming weeks.
On Saturday we can all look forward to enjoying a fine
fireworks display put on by the MGS Parents’ Association. Yes, this annual event always proves to be a
popular one with many from the school and wider school community coming
together to enjoy. Thank you in advance
to the many helpers who make the event possible, particularly Mrs Hudson, who
continues to support MGS in her capacity as chairman of the Parents’
Association.
Finally, I would like to thank the many members of the
school community who joined together just under two weeks ago at the 11+ Open
Evening. We opened our doors to the
wider community on Thursday 25 October to welcome those potential Maidstonians
and their families to see what life is like at MGS. It was once again a very busy and popular
evening with many positive comments being shared with us. A huge thank you to the School Captain and
School-Vice Captain for organising the prefects and many student helpers.
