Year 7 Update – 23 Feb 2024

Well done to Year 7 on their first week back and for getting involved with their learning from the off! Teaching staff have been impressed with the creativity shown and effort made so far. I have been particularly impressed with the work that has been collaborative and analytical on display in Geography and Thematics respectively.

Thank you to the students that support Year 6 Stretch and Challenge lessons on Fridays, it was a pleasure to see you in action. We also enjoyed 7JRW’s bake sale which was a lovely end to the week. I look forward to next week’s Spelling Bee competition that will be completed in Year 7’s English lessons. And not to forget, well done to the students that took part in the National Literacy Quiz! The breadth and variety of our Year 7’s engagement in school life fills me with pride.

On Tuesday 12th March, we will have our second Learning Review Day, an important moment to discuss your child’s academic progress. Please do ensure your appointment is booked with your child’s tutor, or myself if that option is available. Students will be completing reflection on targets that they made in November to see how much progress they have made towards them.

Stars of the week
