Year 11

A Great Leavers' Day 

Thanks to Mrs Cochrane there are even more images of the best Leavers' Day that I have experienced at Winston. It was good humoured and fun and will ensure that the Year Group are remembered.
 I hope that you enjoy the images below.






























Opportunities to Shine

Champions' Lunch

To celebrate the success of the Year 8 boys in the National Futsal Competition and the Year 7 girls as County Champions, I invited the two teams to lunch on Friday 17th May.  Mr Martin and Miss Exworth joined the celebration along with the staff who had supported the students through the stages of the competitions; Miss Singleton, Mr Taylor, Mrs Walton and Mr Phillips.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the chicken and chips and the boys devoured the crumble and custard!

It was great to have the time to sit around a table and talk to the students, as they enjoyed their meal.

Well done!  Winston is proud of you.


Latin in Action

8WG have completed a collaborative translation of a Latin text about a gladiator show using only peer support and classroom resources. They then demonstrated their understanding of the text in dramatic interpretations which involved a History Channel presentation, a talent show recitation and a puppet show! Students showed impressive collaboration and resourcefulness as well as ingenuity in their creative interpretations of ancient Gladiator shows. 


Success on the Football Pitch Continues!

On Tuesday 21st of May the Year 8 and 9 Girls faced Woking High in the Woking District Football Final.  The game was extremely tight throughout but thanks to three brilliant goals (Belle Jennings x2 and Phoebe Tickner x 1) the girls beat Woking High 3-2. A special mention must be had for the Year 9 girls in the team who have won this competition three years in a row. An amazing achievement!

Well Done Girls!
Miss Exworth and Miss Singleton

Year 11 Celebrate

Year 11 Leavers' Day

A day of three parts!  


First year 11 faced their GCSE English examination; 2.  hours of intellectual challenge and the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.

From the examination hall, the students made their way up to the field to relax and celebrate with their friends.  Awaiting them a bouncy assault course, BBQ, Year Books, Hoodies and games.  There was plenty of music and laughter, as well as book and shirt signing!
The sun shone and everyone had a great time.


 













 Part 3:  By 1.40pm the Main Hall had been prepared for the Leavers' Celebration Assembly.

Planned and driven by the students with the support of Mr Harrington-Tucker and Mr Fricker, it was a loud and lively mix of music and sketches reflecting life at Winston. 

Year 11 have been amazing and they have made a huge contribution to the life of the school.  They are the first Year Group that I recruited to the school and I am so proud of what they have achieved.

I wish them success in the remaining GCSE examinations and look forward to seeing all of the students in August to collect their results. 










The Year Team at Rest!
Thank you to a great team of tutors, under the leadership of Mr Fricker, for supporting our students.
