2. English Department Review
Many thanks for your hard work and professionalism last week while Pat O'Shea and Jill Judson were in. The feedback I have received so far has been overwhelmingly positive with a few areas for development/consideration. I will receive their full report in the next few days and will share all the findings with everyone.
3. KS5 reports
Any new staff who are unsure about the procedures for KS5 reports, please ask the other teacher for your class (it's best to do them jointly in any case)
4. Late detention
As of today, any student who is late for P1 will have an automatic 30-minute detention after school. Classroom teachers don't have to do anything to initiate this detention (apart from mark them as late on your register as usual).
5. Coursework catch-up
Coursework catch-up is on again after school today. We are focusing on Creative Writing, so please send any student who is missing a piece of Creative Writing (preferably with an indication of what one you'd like them to do, or at least which one they have already done) or any student who you feel has underperformed in Creative Writing and needs to try for a higher grade.
Thanks and have a great week,
Jamie
