Mossley Hollins High School Newsflash 7 Friday 18 th October 2019 Headteacher’s Message As we reach the end of a busy half term, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the fantastic start our new year 7 cohort, our class of 2024, have made to their time at Mossley Hollins High School. Under the guidance of their Head of Year Miss Allwood, and Senior Leader Mr Beardmore, this exceptional group of young people have proudly displayed the Mossley Hollins Way in lessons and around school every single day. Despite a slow start for some in terms of personal organisation and homework submissions (this is now much improved I am pleased to say), I am delighted to hear from Form Mentors that there has not been a single NUHOPE sanction given to any member of this year group for answering back to staff since they started with us. In terms of focus in lessons, there have been only four NUHOPE sanctions for off task behaviour in all that time. To put that into perspective, that is only four times when staff have had to issue after school reminders to students for being off task in seven weeks of school. That is 26 lessons each week for 182 children- almost 33,000 pupil lessons in total. Furthermore, this fabulous group of learners have received a grand total of 5571 PRIDE points already. In terms of attendance, I am also delighted to report that year 7 have the highest total in school with a total of 98.5% attendance so far this year. I am so proud of our newest students and the way they have quickly risen to our high expectations. I know from the outstanding learning habits they have demonstrated so far that they are going to go far. Thank you so much to all families, parents and carers for your fantastic support for these remarkable young people. Parking on site Thank you for all the messages of support we have received following my message about parking on site. Due to the seriousness of this issue, I have taken steps to ensure that the parking restrictions on site are adhered to. I cannot allow the thoughtless or selfish actions of a small number of individuals to risk harm or injury to our children. Please do not park or wait on any of the areas marked with double yellow lines. Please note, from November 4 th 2019 there will be parking enforcement officials on site who will intervene directly with the owners of vehicles parked illegally on site.

Mossley Hollins High School Newsflash 7
Friday 18th October 2019
Headteacher’s Message
As we reach the end of a busy half term, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the fantastic start our new year
7 cohort, our class of 2024, have made to their time at Mossley Hollins High School. Under the guidance of their
Head of Year Miss Allwood, and Senior Leader Mr Beardmore, this exceptional group of young people have proudly
displayed the Mossley Hollins Way in lessons and around school every single day. Despite a slow start for some in
terms of personal organisation and homework submissions (this is now much improved I am pleased to say), I am
delighted to hear from Form Mentors that there has not been a single NUHOPE sanction given to any member of this
year group for answering back to staff since they started with us. In terms of focus in lessons, there have been only
four NUHOPE sanctions for off task behaviour in all that time.
To put that into perspective, that is only four times when staff have had to issue after school reminders to students
for being off task in seven weeks of school. That is 26 lessons each week for 182 children- almost 33,000 pupil
lessons in total. Furthermore, this fabulous group of learners have received a grand total of 5571 PRIDE points
already.
In terms of attendance, I am also delighted to report that year 7 have the highest total in school with a total of 98.5%
attendance so far this year.
I am so proud of our newest students and the way they have quickly risen to our high expectations. I know from the
outstanding learning habits they have demonstrated so far that they are going to go far.
Thank you so much to all families, parents and carers for your fantastic support for these remarkable young people.
Parking on site
Thank you for all the messages of support we have received following my message about parking on site. Due to the
seriousness of this issue, I have taken steps to ensure that the parking restrictions on site are adhered to. I cannot
allow the thoughtless or selfish actions of a small number of individuals to risk harm or injury to our children. Please
do not park or wait on any of the areas marked with double yellow lines.
Please note, from November 4th 2019 there will be parking enforcement officials on site who will intervene
directly with the owners of vehicles parked illegally on site.
Please share this important message with any family members or friends who might collect children on your behalf.
Thank you for your consideration in this serious matter.
Have a great weekend.

Buckton Vale Primary French Day
On Tuesday, 15th October, Mr. Stevens took twelve Year 8 students to Buckton
Vale Primary School to teach French. In pairs, Mossley Hollins students taught a
range of topics in French to Year 3 and Year 4 students. They taught their lesson six
times throughout the day and enjoyed playing games and sharing their linguistic
knowledge of French food, colours, family, school subjects, months and animals.
The staff at Buckton Vale were very impressed by the enthusiasm, knowledge and
teaching skills of our students. Mr. Stevens would like to thank the Y8 students
below for their participation and for representing the school so wonderfully.
After the event, the MFL faculty received
a lovely ‘Thank You’ message from
Buckton Vale:
‘I just want to say thank you, what a
fantastic morning of inspiring, engaging
activities that you and your students
arranged for us today. Everyone had
clearly worked incredibly hard and put
lots of thought and effort into the
activities. All our students and staff said
what a great morning they all had.
Mossley Hollins
certainly promoted the
love of languages for us
today. The range of
activities kept the
children focused and
challenged in a fun and
inspiring way. All the
Mossley Hollins
students were fantastic
role models and
certainly engaged all
our children. Please
pass on our thanks to all
involved. Thank you as
well to the staff as
events such as this
happen due to their
time and effort which
goes into the
preparation.’
