Hi everyone,
Another busy week coming up...
1. Wednesday 28th Sept - interviews for a new English Teacher
We will be interviewing for a replacement for Laura Wigley on Wednesday. We have six viable candidates so are hoping for a strong field and to make an excellent appointment. Details have yet to be finalised but candidates will have to teach half of a Year 7/8 lesson - we will let relevant teachers know asap so that they can plan accordingly. We will have the usual meet-the-department session during first break, so come along at 11 for refreshments and to meet the candidates (Liz, your feedback would be especially welcome here!)
2. Thursday 29th Sept - Opening Evening
Pupils will go home at 1:20 on Thursday (end of P4) so that staff can prepare for Open Evening - a free lunch will be available. The evening itself will run from 6:30 to 8:30. Time during Wednesday's department meeting will be dedicated to planning and preparation.
3. Friday 30th Sept - Performance Management INSET
Friday is off-timetable for all staff performance management reviews. All staff should have received any data that will be relevant to their review and key members of the team have receivved the relevant Blue Sky training. Exactly who will be reviewing who is yet to be decided but all details will be made available as soon as possible. If anyone has any questions, please come and ask.
4. Monday 3rd Oct - Open Morning
From 9am to 12pm, Cheney will be open to Year 6 pupils and parents. Don't feel you have to do anything special or different from your usual teaching practice (we are a strong department and I don't feel we need to 'put on a show') but be aware that people might pop their head around your door at any point in the first few lessons of the day.
Have a great week.
