5. GCSE Controlled Assessment letters
Letters to parents re: GCSE Controlled Assessments timings were emailed to all staff last week. Please use these as templates, adjusting as you need/see fit. For example, check the titles of the various assessments and change if you are planning on doing different ones (and remember these will change year-on-year).
6. Safeguarding training - Wed 19th Sept
Staff who started at Cheney after Dec 2009 need to attend the new, updated safeguarding training on Wed 19th Sept, 2:05-3:35.
i.e. JKY, AW, CSW, PTO, NTU, JD, NBY
I have checked this out and it is a legal obligation that we are there.
Those colleagues who aren't inolved, please feel free to use the time as you see fit. We will start our dept meeting as soon as the training has finished.

Look set for 2015. Can't wait...
Thank you, have a great week,
Jamie
