Bulletin - 6th December

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone for your very hard work so far this year. It's certainly a tiring term, particularly in these almost-but-not-quite-Christmas weeks; only ten days to go (9 1/2 really)!

Many thanks also to Alastair and Jamie for their much-appreciated contributions to the quiz, which seemed to go down really well (Gulliver-gate aside!).

1-to-1:

I didn't have any response to the recent email about 1-to-1 training. If you are still interested in pursuing this opportunity, do let me know and I'll pass on when the next training is available.

GCSE:

Just a reminder - please don't pass on results to students - we'll need to get them into SERCO before the end of term, but they won't go out to Year 11 until the first week back.

Year 9 into 10 data:

Please could any remaining work to be passed from year 9 to current year 10 teachers (media and S and L assessments) be given to Heather ASAP!

First Story:

Lots of really good news coming from the First Story writers, with two of our students (Nick Clarke and Lizzie Mundell-Perkins) winning prizes in a competition based around 100 word stories. Many thanks again to Jamie and Liz for all your work on this project.

Safeguarding:

Not sure if everyone got the implications of the email that was sent round last week, which are that we all need to watch the safeguarding video on the VLE and send a signed letter in to say that we've done it, by Thursday of next week. Not sure how long it is, but I think it's about an hour. The letter suggests that we are also required to read some accompanying training documents as well... (can I just clarify my role as the messenger here, so please don't shoot!)

Thanks everyone and have a wonderful pre-Christmas week!

Tom
