Challenges at Winston

Assemblies at Winston

Another brilliant 'Mr McLeish' assembly.  The theme was that of respect and looking at how we behave towards students and adults in the school and ways in which we can support each other.  The images illustrate the concept of support in a practical demonstration.  The student could not eat his lemon mousse because the handle of the spoon was too long, so another student helped him. 

Geography

 

Year 8 students spent a geography lesson exploring micro-climates across the school site.  The students had to collect accurate data and then analyse their findings back in the classroom.

 

Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme

Students took part in their final Duke of Edinburgh Award expedition last weekend.  All the students completed the challenge and now have to prepare their project which they investigated along the route.  Staff expressed how proud they were of the students and that it was a pleasure to be out with them on the bank holiday weekend.  Activities such as this can only take place if staff are willing to give up their own time and I am very grateful to them, as students gain so much in terms of leadership skills and resilience through this award.  I look forward to the students completing all the other parts of the programme and to the awards ceremony for the presentation of certificates.
