Welcome back all - hope you had a restful break. Congratulations to Jamie for his appointment as Acting HOD until Xmas 2011.

Staffing
The decisions regarding the HOD job have complicated our staffing and timetabling somewhat - an advert is going in ASAP for a main scale English teacher, with a deadline of (I think) 20th June.

Dates for this term:

10th June - Deadline for Year 10 reports
13th June - Year 12s return
16th June - Year 10 PCE
20th June - Deadline for Year 9 NC data to go into SERCO - this is an end of year level which gives an overall best fit for Year 9, broken up into separate levels for reading, writing, and S&L.
21st June - Question of Words - students needed!
24th June - English Staff Tea
29th June - Standardisation day for Year 10 GCSE coursework - details to follow.
30th June - Creative and Media conference at Brookes for 15 Year 10 Media students.

Thanks everyone!
Tom
