One of the most important aspects of our school which makes it so successful is the engagement and support that we receive from our parents and carers. Therefore I am very proud to announce that we have earned re-accreditation of the Leading Parent Partnership Award. I would like to particularly mention Laura Agnew who worked incredibly hard to pull all of the evidence together and who coordinated the inspection.

Time for Tea
As part of the Year 10 Asdan course, pupils are required to 'entertain' a group of people. They learned how to safely and hygienically prepare hot drinks and then use appropriate body language and verbal exchange to provide a host service. They then had to seek feedback from their customers. Well done to everyone involved!
Caring For Children
Anthony has been working incredibly hard in his Caring for Children lessons. Today he finished all of his work and started the extension task of recreating a childhood book. He worked so hard on his Gruffalo book design, I can’t wait to see the finished product!

And Finally...
In Mrs Ford's incredibly inspirational KS4 Entry Level Certificate science lessons this week, they have discussed the adaptations of a cactus and how these help them to grow and survive in a very hot and dry habitat. The pupils have then created these marvellous ‘models’ of their own cacti to demonstrate the knowledge they have learnt. Sadly I think that the recent hot spell we have had here is in its departure so get those umbrellas and winter woollies at the ready.
