2. Preparing our students for GCSE English/English Language exam
With one month and two weeks of teaching time between now and the GCSE English/English Language exam, here are some prep guidelines:
- the one mark booster pack (one per student)
- the one thing reminder card
- past papers (PTO has created some of her own - now scanned and on Staff Resources)
- individualised training programmes (let me know targets and I'll mail merge for you)

Thank you for all your hard work this term, enjoy a very well-deserved break!

4. Mary Glynn
Mary Glynn is a GTP student at Cherwell who is going to be joining us for a six-week placement, starting on the Tues 3rd Jan. I will be putting together a timetable for her in the next couple of weeks. Is there anyone who would particularly like to have an intern with a particular class? Would anyone like some experience of mentoring?
