Welcome to this week's edition of the Upton-by-Chester High School Spring Bulletin.
As always, there has been a lot going on in the school. Year 11 have completed their second week of PPE (mock) examinations. We look forward to sharing the feedback from these with them and supporting them as they build up to their GCSE examinations. It has also been good to see the progress that Year 13 have made by reading through their reports. As always, we are exploring all the ways we can support learners to be as successful as possible.
Whilst academic achievement is really important, we do also take every opportunity to celebrate lots of other types of achievement. As you will probably be aware, each week a member of the Leadership Team records a message which is played to all learners on a Monday. In this "broadcast" we share the achievements of groups of learners and individuals. In this week's message I just wanted to highlight some of the sporting achievements from this week. I am sure you will agree that our learners have represented themselves and the school incredibly well.
On Tuesday our Under 12s netball team attended the Sisters in Sport final and were crowned champions!
Also on Tuesday our Year 7 boys football team beat Kings School 5-1 in the Chester Cup.
On Wednesday our Year 9 boys football team beat Blacon High 5-1 to move into the Chester Cup Semi-finals.
Yesterday both of our Under 13s netball teams came third in their games with one of our own sports leaders coaching and umpiring the games.
I wish you all a very pleasant weekend.
