Headteacher's Recognition Reward - Lots of boys joined Ms Cronin today to accept their "huge well done" for receiving the highest number of achievement points last week in their year groups. A fantastic job by all with some very high totals achieved! This means that many of our students are going above and beyond what is expected from them as standard. Many subjects had shout outs from our boys for enjoyment this past week, including English, Maths, Geography, History, Business Studies, RE and Electronics! A great mixture of curriculum-appreciation from our boys. Boys were informed today about the plans to improve their social times. We're currently on 'field-watch' - better weather brings the opportunity to open the fields up during lunchtimes. We're not quite there yet. But we are soon to have outdoor table-tennis tables installed near the already-existing basketball courts. With other plans afoot also, there's plenty to look forward to!

Today has been GCSE Rehearsal Results Day for our Year 11s Following the set-up of the real results day, students discovered whether their hard work during the mock examinations paid off. This time though, they have the opportunity to improve areas where needed. By the time of the real thing, it'll be too late. Will you be happy to receive those same results in August? Now's the time to dig deep and work your hardest for the next few months in order to achieve your best results in the summer GCSEs! You won't regret trying!

Headteacher's Recognition Reward - A huge well done to our high achieving students for this week! Gathering in Ms Cronin's office today, boys were congratulated for their efforts in order to gain the top spot in their year group. Future potential school site plans to increase the opportunities available to our boys were also discussed, as well as the possibility for in-school support for our Year 11s, as they approach their GCSEs, during the Easter break. It's always a pleasant exchange on a Monday lunchtime as boys receive praise... just for doing the right thing. Same time next week, everyone's in with an equal chance!
