A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 9
I firstly want to congratulate Year 9 for being wonderful ambassadors of the school during our recent Ofsted inspection. They were polite, courteous and engaged.
On Friday students wore red for charity, ‘Show Racism the Red Card’. This is an amazing charity which aims to educate by challenging misconceptions, stereotypes and negative attitudes in society. It was wonderful to see so many of our students supporting this worthy cause, a voluntary contribution for the charity can be made via ParentPay.
We are drawing to the end of half term and the current Epraise totals are as follows: 1. 9SSR- 560 points 2. 9EMU -558 points 3. 9PWA- 501 points
Individuals who are topping the Year 9 leaderboard are: Ella R-J, Olivia M and Ivy M.
As we approach the end of term, we are aware students are beginning to feel tired, however it is important that they are supported to complete all homework tasks and are present in school and on time each day. There are homework clubs after school as well as a maths specific session, Stuck Shop on Thursday lunchtimes for those who have questions or need some extra support. Half-term will be here soon when we can all have a well earned break! Students are encouraged to get involved in extracurricular activities, as such we wanted to highlight an incredible opportunity for students to get involved with the London Youth Games as a Team Member. Applications are open for passionate 14-24 year olds to represent their borough - see poster on page 4 for more information.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ - Margaret Atwood This book follows the Handmaid of a wealthy family as she struggles to fight for her rights in a dystopian society where women are used as breeding machines. While those in charge use threats to suppress the desires of the Handmaids, nothing can stop the desire she has to reunite with her daughter who was cruelly taken away as the repressive state was gaining power. Atwood combines fictional aspects with real world issues such as oppression of women and power divide to create a story that will make you simultaneously devastated and filled with motivation to ensure that we continue to fight for what all women everywhere deserve the right to choose. ~ Isla
