Revision Evening
Approximately fifty families attended a revision evening run by the school through a company called Made. The evening was both entertaining and informative and helped students to find revision strategies that would work for them.
Anti-bullying Assembly
All our Year groups participated in an Anti-bullying assembly this week, run by our ABC Committee. Students were asked to consider a series of questions and respond using the colour coded pages in the back of their planners. This is just part of the work that our very active ABC Committee do on behalf of all students in the school. Anyone can ask to join the ABC, aimed at providing peer to peer support.
Governors' Teaching & Learning Meeting
The Teaching and Learning Committee meeting took a different format on Tuesday evening. The workshop style enabled governors to challenge staff on the work of the school and the impact iniatives have made to the experience of our students. During the evening governors were able to discuss the use of data with Subject Leaders and Form Tutors, the developments in the science curriculum and the new systems introduced to track and monitor student progress.
Media Experience with Jon Snow
Soem of our Year 11 students attended a Media Studies GCSE Preparation Day at the BFI Southbank.
The day was a huge success. Not only were our 30 mixed ability students exceptionally well behaved and engaged, but they also volunteered, readily, to ask Jon Snow thoughtful and intelligent questions about the differences in television news style, news bias, how TV news appealed and targeted different audiences. Everyone was really impressed.
During the lectures from the other AQA presenter, they made notes diligently and got a tremendous amount out of the day.
The students below went up to represent our school during the workshop session; explaining what kind of news programme they would create and justifying their choices.
