A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
This week students in Year 12 were briefed in tutor time around expectations and reactions to mock exam results. I would encourage all students to take on board the advice given and use their mock results in a positive way in order to improve. Students from a variety of subjects were fortunate to hear from Professor Jon Davis OBE about his work and research on the contemporary history of the British central government. He was a comprehensive school student at Abbs Cross School in Hornchurch, Essex and he worked as a labourer on a building site through his GCSE and A Levels holidays. His insight into politics was well received and especially relevant in this election year. I was very pleased to hear that the Year 12 students who took part in the MBA programme were able to make a profit as they put their enterprising and business skills to use. The B and B Collective made up of Coro, Jiaya, Freya, Tegwen and Nicole, made over £400 from the sale of their brownies and bracelets. I can vouch for how tasty their produce was! 10 of our wonderful students have been representing Richmond in Milan since last Thursday as part of a European Youth Orchestra. The students in Year 12 include; Coroico B and Yasmin I. Well done to all who participated, I hope you had a lovely time! Ms Lewis is very generously running a series of workshops for students to help with writing their personal statements. Students are encouraged to sign up to this via their Google Classroom. Social Science students are invited to attend a talk on Tuesday next week. Dr Kaili Rimfeld from Royal Holloway will be visiting Waldegrave to talk to our students about her research. The talk will take place in the afternoon between 15:30-16:30 in the study base.

A working class woman, the protagonist has fought hard to get to the position she is at: a successful criminal barrister. However, when she becomes a victim of a crime, her faith in the system that she has dedicated her life to is called into question. The audiobook, narrated by Jodie Comer, is highly recommended. ~ Recommended by Mrs Nowicki
