ADVANCE NOTICE - YEAR 11 LEARNING PROGRAMME - ASSESSMENT WEEK 2 Tuesday 9th January to Friday 19th January (inclusive) From Tuesday 9th January to Friday 19th January (inclusive) all students in

Year 11 will be undertaking assessments in the subjects they are currently studying.

For GCSE subjects, these assessments will be based on past paper questions

and indeed complete papers, and will be taken under exam conditions to best prepare your son/daughter for final examinations in May/June 2017.

Please see on Page 6 the exam timetable so your son/daughter is aware of when their examinations take place.

All morning exams will start as soon as possible at 9:00am. It is vital that

your son/daughter is in school and registered at 8:50am with their tutor to allow them to get to the Sports Hall for a 9:00am start.

Afternoon examinations commence at 1:10pm. Your son/daughter should

report to the Sports Hall immediately from lunch.

Please could you encourage and support your son/daughter to prepare

thoroughly for these exams as they will give them a good indication of the progress they have made to date and what they need to do to improve in order that they can secure fantastic exam results in the summer of 2018. I have

included some guidance around revision and preparing effectively for exams.

Mr Cunningham, Deputy Head Teacher - Director of Studies.

INTER-HOUSE NETBALL

The Inter-House Netball was a real success this year with a number of girls from across Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 competing to win for their house.

We started with the very enthusiastic Year 7’s on Monday, all eager to win and show their skills. After a closely contested competition, Perseverance

came out on top. Year 8’s followed on Tuesday with many of the netball team competition

games to try and win the glory for their House. However, continuing on from last year’s dominance, Sans Pareil came out on top to win for the second year

running. Finally, a very competitive tournament ensued on Thursday with the Year 9’s,

when Perseverance won after playing a ‘ringer’ in their team!

A rematch will be played in the New Year. We can’t wait to see that one!

Miss Garner, PE Teacher.
