Weekly Update โ 12 June
Year 11 are now in their final countdown to the end of the GCSE Examinations. There are only three examinations remaining until they can enjoy a well-deserved rest before celebrating with their Leavers’ Assembly and Prom. We wish them the best of luck for next week.
We have fostered Ordinarily Available Provision (OAP) in lessons through bespoke sessions for teaching staff. Our mission is to develop teacher expertise to ensure that we deliver a high quality of education for all, based on core principles of inclusion, with high challenge, high aspiration and high support at the heart of our school culture and ethos. We have identified our top 10 OAP strategies which are embedded across the curriculum.
Sports Day is on Wednesday 1 July – see this page for details.
