Dear Parents and students

Thank you for all your support of the students and us over this past week.

Today, students have been fundraising for Comic Relief charities, which is testament to their commitment to improving the world. Family Friday Comic Relief Friday, March 21st                                     

In total since September excluding today, the student body has raised over £4300 for charities selected by the Student Council.

Also, this week Years 12 & 13 Government & Politics A level students have visited Athens, Greece on a Field Trip with Ms Stylianides and Mr Boston. Wednesday saw 50 Year 11 students on a Reward Trip to Betteshanger Park, and on Thursday 8 students from our Student Council attended a Youth Forum Council meeting at the Hythe Town Hall. And today, A level students of Media and Film attended a Media Production Degree taster course today.

Here are Year 11 Revision Tips   - Monday, March 17^th    Year 13 Revision Tips - Monday, March 17^th        

This week students have earned 2818 Excellent Effort Points for their hard work.

Separately to this, class teachers and Learning Support Assistants will next week be nominating students this week for our usual half-termly commendations on the basis of the submission of personal best class and homework assignments.

We have also sent a number of Homework texts this week, where students have not submitted Homework assignments. In Examination Year Groups, students who do not submit homework assignments will simply perform less well in Public Examinations. Your support is vital here.

Please do keep a running check in which subjects your daughter or son is due to submit homework assignments.

Please remember, Friday April 4^th is Parents’ online Subject Consultation Day for Years 11 & 13 with remote learning at home for all Year groups on that day. We will write separately to parents of Year 11 and Year 13 students about bookings for the Consultation Day, early next week.

There are no particular changes to announce but by way of reminder, here are our Term and Other Important Dates 2024 - 25

Please ensure your child reads for 20 minutes daily and have them choose and read a second book this term from Digital Library – Spring Term 2024 - 25

Thank you so much as ever for all your support. It is always vital.

Have a restful weekend.

Yours sincerely,

Charles Joseph
