Coming Soon!
Several special opportunities have been presented to students at Winston. last week we were fortunate to have Major Tim Peake in school and this week we have been asked to record questions around the environment and climate change to be answered by David Attenborough in a Netflix Podcast.
Speakers4Schools have asked members of our English Department to participate in the making of a film which illustrates how Penguin Classics are used in the teaching of literature. This again is an opportunity to showcase the work of our students and our staff.
More details will follow.
Year 11 Revision Begins in Earnest
Every Friday Year 11s striving for Grade 7-9 in English are invited to an intervention session with Mr Collins.
This morning students were “challenged to challenge” the poets and the intention behind what they have written. Students were encouraged to find the “big ideas” and interrogate them.
Collaborating on the glass boards allows students to share their ideas and feed off of each other, relying less on Mr Collins and more on their own amazing ideas!
Aviation Live Broadcast
Aviation LIVE – Tuesday 4th February 2020 @ 10:30am (Broadcast length = 30 mins)
Some of our students had the opportunity to watch this live broadcast this morning in Discovery Space.
The key question: Are you interested in a career in the Aviation sector?
Aviation LIVE is a live streamed event in partnership with Gatwick Airport that will be broadcast to thousands across the UK wanting to find out more about a career within aviation hosted from Oakwood School, Surrey.
This live, interactive event featured a Q&A session with industry professionals from Gatwick Airport. Questions submitted from both the live and virtual audience on key topics such as: why enter the aviation sector and pathways into aviation were addressed by the panel, and broadcast in real-time as well as LIVE job updates.
It also discussed apprenticeship opportunities available within Gatwick Airport as the event is being held during National Apprenticeship Week.
