Welcome to the first bulletin of the new half-term.
As always, it has been a pleasure to welcome learners back to school after the October break. Learners have responded really positively to being back at school, and we have seen some really wonderful work from them throughout this week.
In the first week, we held the Careers Fair and our Sixth Form open evening.
The Careers Fair gives all learners in the school the opportunity to engage with over forty providers of careers / post-16 education. The purpose of this is to allow all learners to start to think about what their future aspirations may be and to aim for a goal. We have been really pleased that each year more and more local companies and providers of education attend this event. Learners gained a great deal from attending the event.
Yesterday afternoon / evening we hosted our Sixth Form open evening, which was very well attended. The evening gave learners a flavour of the courses that will be on offer next year and the support that we can provide as a Sixth Form. As one of the most successful Sixth Forms in the area, we were delighted to be able to welcome so many internal and external candidates to this event.
Next week we are looking forward to a further careers event, which parents in Year 7 and 8 will have received an email about. We are also looking forward to welcoming Year 7 and Year 12 parents and carers to a face-to-face Meet the Tutor Evening.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Regards,
L Cummins
