Last week the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) visited lessons across the whole school to award Leadership Team recognition points to students who are consistently working hard and displaying good behaviour. It was pleasing to hear from teachers that so many students are aiming high and achieving brilliant outcomes. Look out for Praise Postcards sent home!

Theme of the Week: The Environment
This week’s assemblies are organised and delivered by our Eco Ambassadors. The group is chaired by our Head Students Martha M and Dan L. A number of students from all year groups are part of the committee and they have been working on a variety of issues using the national Eco Schools framework.
During this assembly the Eco Ambassadors will talk to students about reducing the amount of litter around the school site and the introduction of recycling in offices. They will be inviting students to submit entries for a poster competition to design a new Eco Code for the school.
As a school we very lucky to have a large site and plenty of green space – The Ambassadors will also be encouraging students to take part in the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch in January. Further information is available here: https://www.rspb.org.uk/get-involved/activities/birdwatch/
During Personal Development students will learn about and discuss a variety of environment issues, including litter (Year 7), transport (Year 8), energy usage (Year 9) and consumer choice (Year 10).
Learning this week
Our Year 11 Art students have just completed their mock exams. Their work was amazing:
Science
This week the Science department will be discussing the importance of not eating or drinking in the Science block and laboratories. This includes chewing gum and drinking water. Students will also be reminded that they will not be permitted to leave the Science lab to eat or drink during lesson time (unless they have an exit card for a medical reason to do so). This is in line with the CLEAPSS health and safety guidance that we follow as a school to ensure all our students and staff are safe whilst working in the laboratories. We would appreciate it if you could discuss this at home with your child.
