A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 13
It was wonderful to welcome Year 13 back to school after the summer holidays. I hope they had the chance to rest and recharge for another busy year ahead, which will also be their last one of their compulsory education. Students have already started their timetabled lessons and have settled into their routines very quickly. Mr Bannister led the Year 13 Induction session with UCAS applications being the key focus. Students were reminded of all the key information needed to ensure a successful application, including what additional details they need to include in their applications to help them stand out and be successful. We have also shared all of Year 13 all the essential information regarding the admissions tests which a number of students need to be entered for. We have asked all students to fill in the relevant google form by Friday 22 September. As a reminder to students, parents and carers, the deadline for early entry applicants is 15 October and for all remaining applicants is 31 January. There are a number of extra curricular clubs already starting up. This is a perfect opportunity for students to try something new this year.

We are inviting in parents and carers of our Geography students on Monday for an information evening regarding the upcoming field trip to Barcelona. The details of this event have already been shared with all relevant parties. There will also be an information evening on Tuesday, which is open to all parents and carers of Year 13 students. This meeting will be in relation to the UCAS process and will offer the opportunity to ask any questions you may have with regards to your child’s application to University.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
This book is written from the perspective of Charlie through letter entries, following him and his friends through their challenging navigation through high school and life. It’s a moving and honest story.
