Bulletin- 26th Jan

Thanks to everyone for your hard work on Thursday's Enrichment Day!

This week:
1) Meeting on Tuesday
C26
3.15-4.15
Agenda:

• PTo / GSn / TBo / JKy / AW - Year 12 Coursework standardisation (please see email from PTo about this)



• All other staff- working on KS3 SoW, with focus on assessment.

2) WELCOME

Further to Liz's email, a very warm welcome to our Interns Tony and Hannah, who will be with us until June.

3) RFL:

Further to SOK's email from a few days ago, student behaviour seems to be slipping at the moment after an improved start to the year. For our part, please try to stick to the RFL policy as far as possible, particularly concerning uniform and in class behaviour. So:

- Please try to give Achievement Points to reward good performance in class. I know that SERCO has been difficult to access recently, but if we can try to get back into the habit that will be helpful. Further to this, there are new praise postcards available for us to use (provided by the Art department) so feel free to send these. Any other ideas for ways in which we can celebrate student success gratefully received!

- Students should be in full uniform and if they aren't, should be sent to ASc to get a report. Tina will then monitor them from this point on, and will follow everything up. We don't have to send a TA with them for this (good job, as we have virtually none available!), but if a student is wearing jeans, white trainers etc, please send them along.

-Please ask students to remove scarves and coats in lessons.

- Give a formal warning for behaviour which is preventing the student or other students from learning, then move if appropriate, then send to DS. Send student accompanied whenever possible. Please don't send students directly to ASc.

Have a good week everyone- ps- the first 'name the poet' competition begins today- the first person to correctly name the poet in the picture at the top of this post, through comment or email, wins a fantastic and as-yet- undecided on prize!
