Have You Just Graduated?

Joining Our Team

Have you recently Graduated?

 

No doubt you have enjoyed the experiences, achieved good qualifications and are now ready for the next stage in your lives.  These are challenging times but I have employment opportunities which may start you on your career journey.

I have, for the last 4 years, been employing young graduates for a range of roles across the school, fully accepting that they may only stay for a year before moving on into other forms of employment or perhaps go on to train as a teacher. Some of these graduates have been ex-Winston students and they have made a fantastic contribution to our school. 

Working in a school helps you to develop a number of transferable skills:

·        Leadership

·        Communication skills

·        Resilience

·        Skills required to negotiate and persuade

·        Organisational skills

·        The ability to work with a wide range of people.

Many of you will have successfully found your first job as a graduate but if you are still looking for the perfect opportunity and are seeking paid employment for the next year, then perhaps you would like to consider one of the following roles we offer at Winston:

Opportunities:

·        Become our Maths Tutor, 36 hours per week, tutoring small groups of students within a great innovative Maths Team.  Our current tutor is going on to train as a teacher.

·        Become our English Tutor, 36 hours per week, tutoring small groups of students within a great innovative English Team.  Both English Tutors have gone onto train as teachers.

·        Become our Planetarium Presenter and Science Tutor, 36 hours per week, tutoring small groups of students within a great innovative Science Team.  Flexible hours.

·        I am currently seeking graduates for the position of LSA, the hours to be negotiated plus 5 hours lunchtime supervision each week. One year contract only.

·        I also require Cover Supervisors to manage groups of students when staff are absent.  This again would suit a graduate.  Previous cover supervisors are now training to be teachers at Winston. One year contract only.

  If you any of these roles appeal to you then email James French, Deputy Head at        j.french@wcsc.org to discuss the possibilities.

Please encourage anyone interested in any of these roles to contact the school to find out more information.

Thank you for taking the time to consider these roles.  I wish you every success for the future.

Yours sincerely

Zoe Johnson-Walker

Great Work

Designing and Making a Game

• Your brief for this project is to design and make a functioning game for a child made out of materials you have a home. 
• The game needs to be suitable for children ages 4-7 years old. 
• You will use inspiration for existing products and a clear theme to generate your final idea.
• You will need to think of a design idea, refine it and make the final product
• You will evaluate your design against a specification that you set.

Great work from Georgie.  Good luck with making the game!

Supporting our Community

Making fabric masks for Childs Hospice Shooting Star. 

Miss Reynolds, Miss Laroche, Mrs White and Miss King have been making fabric masks to be worn by family members at Christopher’s Children’s Hospice (Shooting Star Children’s Hospices), Old Portsmouth Road, Artington, Guildford.

Shooting Star Children's Hospices cares for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families across Surrey and London. We support families from diagnosis to end of life and throughout bereavement with a range of nursing, practical, emotional and medical care. It costs £10 million a year to maintain our current level of care and just 10% of that income comes from government funding, so we rely on our supporters’ generosity to keep the service running.

Thank you for making a difference!  I believe that more masks are being made next week.

Helping to Cook for My Family

Mrs Vadi sent me these great examples of students cooking for their families.

Well done! Very impressive.

Laptops

We have had a good response to our call for unwanted laptops.  The donations have been wiped and free software supplied by HP has been installed, turning the unwanted kit into machines that can support learning at home.  Some of our students, who did not have access to a device are already benefiting from this initiative.

Thank you to everyone for the donations.  

If anyone else has an unwanted laptop, just drop it into the box at our main office.
