A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 8
We have had a very positive start to the Summer Term including some wonderful weather! During form time this week, students were reminded of the school routines as well as places that they can go to for support if needed. Looking ahead, students are reminded to bring in a reading book for silent reading during form time on Mondays as we are dedicating time for students to read independently. At the end of last term our wonderful Year 8s were once again spreading kindness across the school community and writing thoughtful appreciation cards to teachers and staff across the school - in total they hand delivered over 450 kindness messages which were well received. A special mention must go to our Kindness Ambassadors Lillia G 8STR and Immy W 8STR who were instrumental in leading on this project. A huge well done to all the students who participated in the Easter Bonnet Parade at the end of last term. We are incredibly proud of all of our Year 8s who took the time to meticulously design detailed and beautiful Easter Bonnets! Our extra curricular sports clubs have changed to summer activities and have been posted on all Google Classrooms - Rounders, Athletics and Cricket are on offer afterschool and there will be opportunities to represent the school in up and coming fixtures. If your child would like to find out more about these opportunities then please ask them to speak to a member of the PE department. Our top three epraise forms this week are as follows 8PUN, 8PIR and 8EBH so very well done to those forms. Topping our epraise individual leaderboard this week is Yovela H 8PIR - very well done! We would love to hear about and celebrate our students’ achievements outside of school. Please be sure to let us know of anything your child has been involved with that deserves recognition. As the summer weather seems to have arrived, please encourage your daughter to apply sunscreen and bring a water bottle which can be filled at any of our water stations around the school. Keeping hydrated will also help students maintain focus in lessons.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Princess and the Suffragette’ by Holly Webb This is a truly inspirational book about the struggles for women and children in the early 1900s. Set in 1913, the book revolves around the suffragette movement, a campaign group active from 1903 to 1914 which used direct action to advance their aim of achieving women’s suffrage (the right to vote) in the United Kingdom. The book describes the difference in lifestyle for the poor and the rich, covering relatable topics such as divorce and adoptions. I loved how relatable all the characters were and it has slowly become one of my favourite novels of all time! I suggest this book to any historical drama fans, comedy and even non-fiction lovers. Read this if you enjoyed the ‘Rebel Girl’ series or ‘Secretly a suffragette’. I absolutely recommend this book to all ages!
