Hi all,
Well - loads of exciting things happening at the moment!
First Story - many thanks to Jamie and Fliss for the work that's gone in to FS and FSS - Weds saw an absolutely brilliant launch of the new books, much enjoyed by all,
Appointment: thanks to Jamie and Alastair for the smooth and successful interview day on Friday - we look forward to welcoming Laura to the department from the 4th July.
A Question of Words: Thanks again to Fliss for sorting out the Q of A heats - our students excelled themselves by all accounts - now to the final on 7th July at the North Wall Centre - it's on from 1.15 and is usually a really enjoyable event. If anyone would like to come along, let me know.
Creative and Media Conference - 15 year 10s are out on Thursday at a Creative and Media conference at Brookes - names will be on SERCO ASAP.
Standardisation: Standardisation of year 10 coursework will take place on Weds - venue to be announced - see Jamie or me if you have any questions about the process.
Timetabling: now that staffing is finalised, we are in a position to push ahead with scheduling the timetable and hopefully get it sorted before too long.
Year 9
Year 9 reading test markschemes have gone into pigeon holes - I'll be in touch with a sheet to collect the data soon. If I could get all year 9 data in by July 15th, that will give me some time to sort sets and groupings out before the end of term - please let me know if you think this will be a problem.
Finally, here's Jamie talking students through the new GCSE English exam, to be take by our students in January - have a watch if you want to get yourself ahead of the game!
