1. Dates for diaries
Tuesday 17th July: JKY out all day on Art/Media trip to OUP - PTO in charge!
Tuesday 17th July: Dept dinner - 7pm drinks, Duke of Cambridge; 8pm dinner, Al-Andalus - both on Little Clarendon Street
Thursday 19th July: LAST DAY OF TERM! Lessons end at 12:20, nibbles, drinks, etc in L1
2. Year 9 coursework catch-up
Please keep sending NEW Year 10 students who didn't complete the Creative Writing and/or Speaking & Listening coursework at the end of Year 9 to me/AW:
Monday 16th July: P3 and P4 (10b students) - C21, AW
Wednesday 18th July: P3 (10a students) - C27, JKY
All completed Creative Writing tasks will be returned to OLD Year 9 teachers and all S&L work will be put on the Staff Resources for relevant staff to access
3. Completed Year 9 coursework
Please give JKY all Year 9 coursework (Creative Writing AND S&L) so that I can store them over the summer holidays and reallocate to new Year 10 teachers in Sept).
4. Students in wrong sets
If, by the end of this term, you think there is a student who has been wrongly allocated, please email JKY. Only do this if there is a compelling reason for them to change - not simply because they/their family has requested it.
Also, if there are inaccuracies in Serco registers, etc, please email me these as well.
Thank you for a great year, enjoy your holidays!

Bulletin - 2.7.12
Morning everyone,
1. Dates for diaries
Tues 3rd July – Sixth Form Induction Day
Tues 3rd July – Year 9/10 Sports Day - POSTPONED
Wed 4th July – Year 8/8 Sports Day
Wed 4th July – New Staff Induction Day (HDY, LMA, KWI)
Wed 4th July – College Meeting / Dept meeting (agenda to follow)
Thurs 5th July – Celebration Day
Fri 6th July - A Question of Words
Mon 9th July – Torch relay – see JM’s notes re: travel disruption
Mon 9th July – new timetable starts
2. New timetable
Please use the Creative Writing module for Years 8, 9 and 10. Year 11 classes will carry on in the same sets and with the same teachers so please carry on as before. Year 12s should have already started on A2 work.
We should have class lists in the next day or so and I will get them to staff asap (Wed meeting at the latest).
I have been told that teachers with Year 7 class should NOT have to cover lessons for other staff but that these lessons will be covered by departing staff who won't have a timetable.
3. Paul Waite
Paul is still unwell and, after numerous blood tests, the doctors still aren't 100% sure what is up - current best guess is 'sevre unknown virus'. He has been signed off for another two weeks and we are unlikely to see him again this term. His classes will continue to be covered by DCO.
4. Lesson obserations
Lesson observations will start this week - please see the schedule I sent around last week. These are designed to be supportive and positive to enable staff to engage effectively with the Performance Management process in the new year. Any problems/questions, please see JKY.
5. Year 12 in Sept
The new Year 12s will not start lessons for the first week back in September. Instead this time will be used to sort out any timetable/class issues. Students will be set independent work to be done by teaching staff.
6. Dept meal out
It looks like Tues 17th is the more popular date for this. I will book a table at Al-Analus on Little Clarendon Street.
Have a great week,
Jamie
