A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 9
We have had another successful week and I know that our Year 9 students loved seeing the incredible dress up day costumes from our Year 11s. I have had some brilliant and highly creative conversations about potential
costume ideas from our students as well - which I am most excited about! We have also had the fantastic news that Karlotte C, 9EFR, has had her artwork selected to appear in the Young Artist’s Summer Show at the Royal Academy this year AND that Poppy B (9EMU) and Judith K (9FDO) have made it to the finals of The Poetry by Heart national competition with their performance of Pink Matter. These wonderful achievements are testament not only to their talent but the hard work they have put in and we are all very proud!
The focus this week has been on ensuring that Year 9 are coming to school with the correct equipment and their lanyards. I am so pleased that the majority of our students are consistently coming into school with the correct equipment and uniform. Please can I ask that you make some time each evening to check that your child(ren) have their Chromebook charged and they have their lanyard. Year 9 continue to shine with their Epraise totals. The current leaderboard reads as follows: 1st 9EMU , 2nd 9PWA and 3rd place goes to 9SSR/9FCO who are neck and neck for third place. Top Epraise in each form: Next week we will be focusing on kindness in our tutor time programme. Students will be encouraged to write a ‘Kindness Card’ to two members of school staff and share some positive feedback. It would be wonderful if you could speak to your child(ren) about the adults in the school who help them- these could be teachers, form tutors, support staff, the pastoral team, hub staff or members of our canteen or caretaking team. We hope you have a lovely weekend. 9EFR: Scarlett H, 9EMU: Mia C, 9FCO: Anastasiia M, 9FDO: Sophie S, 9POR: Imogen H, 9PWA: Malaika M, 9SSR: Ella R-J and 9SAN: Gabriella P

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘Things a Bright Girl Can Do’ by Sally Nicholls
Set in the early twentieth century, this novel follows three brave young women as they all become involved in the Suffragette movement. I loved how Nicholls brought the time period to life, showing what it felt like to be a woman and girl during that turbulent time. But if historical novels aren’t usually your thing, don’t be put off. It feels really modern and fresh, exploring issues like class differences as the three main characters come from different backgrounds. There is also a beautiful love story between two of the characters. It has something for everyone!
