Inset Day
Wednesday 15th June saw the final Inset Day of the academic year. The focus, as is always the case, was on teaching and learning and the development of our learning competencies. These competencies are the skills students require to become effective learners at Winston and beyond at post-16, university and the world of work. This work is part of our development plan for the school, which sets targets for the new academic year.New Student Entrance (and Exit)!
At last the new student entrance is finished and ready to open. This is now the entrance that students will use if they are late to school or have to leave school during the day for an appointment. Delays have been caused by a leaking roof, which took sometime to locate and resolve. However, students will no longer have to wait at the main office to sign in or out for appointment, as Mrs Adams will be there to manage the new office.
Congratulations!
Daisy, Year 7,
plays badminton at a good standard, representing Surrey in the U12 County Squad
and playing for Swifts Junior Badminton Club, who are based in Lightwater.
During
2015/2016, Daisy has played in a team for Swifts which involved playing matches
throughout the year against other teams in the Southern Region of the first
ever Junior National Badminton League. (there were 17 local leagues
nationally). The Surrey & District section was won by Swifts and so
they went through to the national finals, which were held this weekend at the
National Badminton Centre, Milton Keynes. There were 6 regional finalists
and they competed for the title over a 7 hour period on Saturday. It was
an incredible day of competitive sport and I am pleased to say that despite
being the smallest team with only 5 players, Swifts were the winners of the
first Badminton England National Junior League and lifted the trophy as
national champions that evening. Daisy has a gold medal and is still very
excited about the result.
