Alex Morrison at Winston
The photographs below are of the BBC School Report Day workshops that Tom and Yasmin
devised. The images show students at work throughout the day in their reporting
teams, representing different subject areas.
Alex Morrison, the visiting BBC journalist, remarked on the
‘extremely insightful questions’ that students asked him throughout the
day.
He was also impressed with all the ‘pleases’ ‘thank yous’
and ‘door openings’ he experienced around the school. During his radio
interview he said that students had been ‘polite, engaged and
courteous’.

Mock Results Day!
A drizzly Friday 22nd January saw Year 11 receive
their much anticipated mock exam results but the grey skies faded away for many,
who were delighted to reap the rewards for some impressive focus and diligent
preparation. The aim now is to keep this really good work going.
For some, however, their mood seemed to match the weather and some
time for quiet reflection, along with discussions with teaching staff &
parents, is sure to be needed to avoid those feelings on 25th
August.
In the coming weeks the dedication of our staff will again be
clearly evident as our intervention & support builds on the mock exams and
becomes even more focused. I encourage all students to embrace the
additional opportunities being made available to them, in order to maximise their success
at Winston.
the staff at Winston wish everyone Good luck, as they enter the final stages of preparation for these key examinations.
