Bulletin - 8th March

Hello everyone!

This Week:

No formal meeting this week as LP / College Leader meetings.

A Question of Words

This event has crept up on me a little bit - it's happening on Thursday so I need to sort out 16 students from each of years 7, 8, 9 and 10 to take part in this event. Could you please send me some names - we are looking for students who will be reasonably confident when devising and performing poems / sketches. Thanks and sorry for the rush, but ASAP please - we were just beaten by Cherwell last year so revenge is needed! See flyer on email for details.

Department Meeting Next Tues
This meeting will be dedicated to refreshing and reflecting on the implementation of our assessment policy, with emphasis on KS3. If staff are able to come to the meeting having thought about this beforehand - what is going well, what do we need to work on - that will be helpful.

GCSE sessions
GCSE booster sessions are beginning this week (I haven't got the sheet with me but I think I said Tues lunch and Weds after school - I'll send them round again to confirm). Anyway, whenever they are, please encourage kids to turn up, and direct individuals to sessions revising aspects of the exams that they need to improve on.

Year 7 Writers
Please see email from MJo regarding the Creative Junction writing project, and pass on names of keen Year 7 writers to her.

Aldyth
Aldyth leaves the department this week to take on extra drama lessons - thanks for all your hard work with year 8!
Thanks everyone and have a wonderful week!
Tom
