These are to take place in the double meeting slot on Wed 1st Feb, 2-4pm. They should take 10-15 mins. The relevant personnel are listed below, so please liaise to arrange a suitable time. Use the rest of the time at your own discretion.

PWA: ACL, NTU
PTO: GSN, CSW
AW: JKY, JD

EWA and NBY will have their reviews with HNE and MJO respectively.

3. Exam data entry
Many thanks to all the Year 11 teachers who supplied information and predictions for GCSE students. I'm aware it's a difficult process without grade boundaries, so thank you for your efforts.

We also need to collect the same information for KS5 classes - JKY will liaise with relevant staff on that.

4. Coursework moderation
The school has agreed in principle to us having two coursework moderation days. These have been provisionally booked for Tues 17th and Wed 18th April (the first week back after Easter holidays).

It is therefore vital that you have ALL coursework in and marked by these dates.

5. English department quiz
A Less Impressive Book Titles quiz is with CW.

6. Keys
Everyone should have a submaster key by now that opens every door in the department. If you don't, please see PWA. Can you also return the individual key for your room to JKY. Thanks.

6. Farewell to Toni
Toni is leaving (I say 'leaving', I mean abandoning...) us on Friday. She has a babysitter and a pass for Friday night - if you haven't already told me if you are coming out for a meal, please can you let me know asap so I can book a table.

Have a great week.
