Assembly

Well Being Team: ABC

  • The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2018 is: ‘Choose Respect’ and Anti-Bullying Week runs from 12th - 16th  November.
  • Students from the Well Being Team took our students through a national survey and talked about the statistics and what it means for an individual.  They reminded students about how to support and respect each other and what to do if they are experiencing or witness bullying.

Year 9 Careers Presentation

We welcomed a theatre company to Winston, on Monday morning, to share with our students the full range of career opportunities available in the National Health Service.  Students learnt that working for the NHS did not mean that you had to be a doctor or a nurse and that not all roles required a degree.  The presentation raised awareness of how important each role is and that there are a number of ways to enter the workplace.  Students were also directed to the 'Step into the NHS' website.




Year 9 Egg Enquiry!

Mrs Vadi's Year 9 Grammar Group have been investigating eggs.  They set up their own investigation, completing much of it for homework.  I had the pleasure of being able to look though all of the projects and the quality of the work is outstanding.  Well done Year 9.
