Whatrsquos new On 15th March Kathryn Moles HMI and Sylwia Holmes one of

Ofsteds researchers will be visiting the Anglo European to discuss

our unique and distinctive curriculum as part of their on-going

research into curriculum design and the impact of a broad curriculum

on studentsrsquo learning achievement and destinations In their last

visit to the school as part of our formal Ofsted inspection senior and

middle leaders engaged in a lively discussion about Anglorsquos

commitment to Languages the Arts and Technologies areas of the

curriculum that are sadly being compromised in other schools as a

result of financial constraints and staff shortages Sean Harford

(HMI) lead inspector wrote ldquoEffective teaching an outstanding

curriculum offer and strong leadership have led to continually

improving results in public examinations These combined with

their destinations and the preparation pupils receive for their next

steps in life mean that pupilsrsquo outcomes are outstandingrdquo

We look forward to welcoming the Ofsted Research team to the

Anglo European and sharing our ethos and practice in the hope of

protecting the vision for a broad balanced and inspiring curriculum

you may contact us via the school office Outside

of school hours we recommend that you follow the

guidance provided by the NSPCC The link below

provides advice on what to do if you are worried

about a child

httpswwwnspccorgukwhat-you-can-doreport-

abuse

The NSPCC website also has excellent advice on

how to keep children safe We highly recommend

that parents visit this site to learn more about the

ways in which we can protect children from harm

A word from the Sixth Form The unexpected turn of events in the weather last

week whilst problematic from a teaching perspective

as we need every timetabled hour that we can get at

this time of the year also perhaps gave an early

opportunity for both year groups to get on with some

revision for both mock and final exams which I hope

you took full advantage of Upper Sixth students

should have read taken on board and discussed with

their teachers the advice given to them in their T5

reports about how to make the biggest differences in

their learning over the remaining weeks you are with

us Remember it is never too late to be trying your

absolute best as any level of extra effort can make a

difference Lower Sixth students will have completed

their mini-mock assessments in preparation for their

T2 report which will be issued shortly I would

encourage you to reflect upon your performance here

and think about in particular how you are going to

improve your exam technique in preparation for your

Lower Sixth mocks next term Finally Irsquod like to

congratulate all the Lower Sixth students who have

lsquotaken a riskrsquo by signing up for exchange visits over

the next couple of weeks and hope that they have a

wonderful experience in improving not only their

language capabilities but also appreciation of different

cultures Whichever year group you are in letrsquos keep

the momentum going and remain focussed on doing

the right thing because remember lsquohard work beats

talent when talent doesnrsquot work hardrsquo
