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
