A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 13
Year 13 continued to work really hard in and out of lessons this week. I would like to say well done to the vast majority of students who have submitted their UCAS applications to us. Most of them have now been submitted to UCAS. This week our Sixth Formers had an amazing opportunity to hear from Alastair Campbell when he visited the school on Wednesday. Students were given the opportunity to talk about how and what they would like to change in our current situations and it made it a very interesting session. On Monday, a number of Sixth Form students took part in the Myth & Voice Workshop hosted by Dr. Efi Spentzou from Royal Holloway University. In the initial workshop, our students brought the story of King Erysichthon to life through role play and art. While the story has only just begun, we can’t wait to see what our students will get up to over the next few sessions. These students will be participating in the next session on Monday, which I am sure they are looking forward to and will benefit immensely from. On Wednesday, our football team took part in a home game against Richard Reynolds. The game was closely fought and our team defended brilliantly. A special mention goes to Billy who scored 2 goals, with the final outcome being 2-0. Next week on Wednesday, as part of their A Level in Spanish, the Year 13 students will be seeing “The House of Bernarda Alba” at the Cervantes Theatre. This trip will help prepare students for the essay part of their Spanish A Level exam as they are currently studying this play. On a final note, the external deadline for all UCAS applications is on Wednesday 31 January 18:00. Any student still wishing to submit an application should do this by the end of the day on Monday as we need to complete the internal administration tasks including adding references before we can approve the applications. It is not guaranteed that Universities will actually consider any applications after the deadline has passed.
