A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 11
Well done to Year 11 who this week bravely faced their first set of mock exams under real exam conditions, with full length exam papers for the first time. Staff were impressed by the students’ calm demeanour and preparedness, as pupils were on time, had the right equipment and knew where they should be sitting. Please remind your child to continue to check the GCSE exam Google classroom daily to find out where and when they should be for the final week of exams. Any exams missed due to sickness will be caught up either on an afternoon when they do not have an exam or on Friday 15 November. Any questions or queries about exams please contact Ms Fong, the exams officer. It is vital that students take care of their emotional and physical health while they study so they are best prepared for their mock exams. We hope you all have a restful weekend and return refreshed for another week. Next week PE clubs and activities will resume, with trials for our cross country team taking place after school on Monday. This team will take part in the Richmond Schools Cross Country event on Friday 22 November in Bushy Park. Year 11 pupils will need to be able to run 4.5km. As we move towards the darker months please discuss with your child if they are attending after school clubs and ensure they are making their way home, on these darker afternoons, safely. Lastly, a reminder that Remembrance Day is coming up on Monday. Poppies will be available at reception to purchase up to (and including) Monday 11 November. Funds raised by buying a poppy go to charity to help support members of the armed forces overcome issues such as depression, chronic pain and PTSD. See The Poppy Appeal for more information. Have a good weekend!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Agathas’ - Kathleen Glasgow & Liz Lawson
A dramatic and intriguing detective thriller, The Agathas focuses on two girls; Alice Ogilvie, an amateur (but stubborn) detective and Iris Addams, a super-smart girl with plenty of trouble on her mind. They’re pulled together suddenly when one of their town’s most popular girls, Brooke Donovan, disappears one stormy night after a party- and it seems that everyone is chasing after the wrong guy. With the police being as lazy as possible and missing some real big clues, it’s time for them to spring into their first case! Really good for anyone who loves an absolutely thrilling modern mystery.
