Unlocking potential .Changing lives Principals News
I enjoyed a wet, but fantastic
Saturday at Alton Towers this
week with Year 11s! They were
an absolute pleasure - huge
thanks to all the staff who
supported the trip and special
thanks to Mrs Hillier who looked
after me on Oblivion!
On Monday I had the privilege
of working with Mr Portman,
Miss Hodkin and Mrs Dobson to
enquire into the practice and
our learners habits in the English
department. All too often as a
Headteacher you get sucked
i n t o c o n v e r s a t i o n s t h a t
seemingly have nothing to do
with learning! It was fantastic
to spend the morning working
with these talented teachers.
Our morning ended with some
clear areas of development for
Miss Hodkin to take back to her
department.
O n T u e s d a y o u r M a t h s
department had their repeat
departmental review and it
was great to hear posit ive
f e e d b a c k a b o u t t h e
improvements many of the
staff have made. We arent
there yet but we are beginning
to move in the right direction!
The end of the week is equally
frenetic with the relocation of
departments ready for the new
timetable which starts next
week.
The increase in Maths and
English lessons at KS3 and Year
10 has meant we have had to
f i n d a d d i t i o n a l t e a c h i n g
spaces. It has also been a
great opportunity to have a
good clear out!
A huge thank you to all staff
who have worked tirelessly this
week to make this happen and
to our fantastic facilities team
who have moved furniture,
classroom dividers and ferried
trolley loads of rubbish to the
skip!
Kate Davies, Principal :)
