School Awards

Congratulations to Kai Purnell 7JM for receiving the largest number of reward points last week. Well done. Students nominated for the Headteacher’s Award this week are: Year 8: Alex Gupta I want to wish all the Year 11, 12 and 13 students who are starting their exam season next week the very best. All the students have been working really hard. You will be rewarded for your efforts when you open that envelope in the summer. I am sure you will do yourselves proud. Kathy Pacey Following a recent review, from Tuesday 7 May there is a revised daily schedule to the 681 bus route so that the morning trips arrive reliably for the school start. Both morning trips will operate 15 minutes earlier. There will be no change to the two afternoon trips. This should enable all our students who use the school bus service to be in school on time for the start of the school day.

Duke of Edinburgh

From Saturday 4 to Monday 6 May, 28 students from Year 10 undertook their practice Silver Duke of Edinburgh expedition in Sussex. They had some refresher training with the assessors at Blackland Farm in East Grinstead on Saturday, undertook their first hike to Heaven Farm in Uckfield and on the last day hiked to the finish point in Ashdown Forest. They hiked approximately 40 km over the three days. They will complete their assessed expedition in July which will run over 4 days and 3 nights in the New Forest. Students who have completed their bronze award undertake six months of volunteering for their silver award in addition to three months on their physical and skills sections, but if they have not done the Bronze, they must undertake a further 6 months in either the volunteering or the longer of the Physical or Skills sections. 127 Year 9 students have started on their Duke of Edinburgh Journey and will undertake their first expedition training in September. There will be an information evening on 22 May for those students and families involved.
