We are moving ahead with a new system to reward students’ good work, effort, attendance and behaviour. The system we will move to is called ‘E-Praise’ and it allows students to exchange reward points they receive for prizes.

The list of possible rewards is currently being discussed and agreed by our student council and I hope they will be able to launch it in assemblies in the week before half-term.

We were privileged to host a Holocaust survivor on Thursday afternoon, who came in to College to speak with all Year 9 students and Year 11 RE students. Students found the talk very interesting and it gave them a real account of a dark period in recent history.  We have also completed Futures Interviews with Year 11 students and have the highest number of first choice applicants for our sixth form in the last few years.  We also hosted visitors from Sky Sports last week and ran a programme of activities for some of our Key Stage 3 students, which involved a range of activities throughout the day. 

It is my intention to use this blog as a means of regular communication with parents. It will contain information on recent events in College, as well as providing information forthcoming events.
