Weather Impacts on School Life
Welcome to the School Blog. School life has been influenced by the weather conditions to some extent this week. Despite the excitement snowfall brings, students have generally behaved impeccably and with great respect when moving around the school campus. It looks like the weekend will see the end of the icy conditions. Hopefully we look forward to a return to normality on Monday.
Year 10 Parents’ Evening
Thank you very much to all parents/carers who participated in the Year 10 Parents’ Evening yesterday. A great deal of learning is clearly taking place in Year 10. These conversations strengthen our partnership with families and also inform further ways to support students in their learning. Our hope is that all students continue to make strong progress and enjoy life in the school.
Sixth Form Open Evening
Our Sixth Form Open Evening for prospective students takes place on Thursday, 26th January from 6.30pm onwards. There will be a talk by the Headteacher and Mr. Kevin Davies (Head of Sixth Form) at 6.30pm. The talks will be repeated at 7.15pm.
Opportunities will be available to visit all areas of the school and speak to specialist staff and current students. It will be our pleasure to welcome as many interested parties as possible to this face-to-face event.
Year 11 Science Practical Examinations
A large number of Year 11 students will sit their science practical examinations over the next couple of weeks. We wish them all the very best in their pursuit of excellent performances. Indeed, on Friday, 3rd February, we intend to hold a Mock Results Day for our Year 11 students to simulate the real event, which occurs in August. We hope this will assist our students in making wise learning choices over the coming weeks.
Potential Strike Action
Many of you will have seen on the news that certain professional bodies have indicated they will strike in Welsh schools on Wednesday, 1st February. Although it is hoped that this can yet be avoided, we will contact you with further relevant information nearer the time.
Student Achievements
Really well done to Harry (Year 11),. Harry realised his dream by representing his country, playing for the U16s Wales Football Team against Australia this week. The Welsh boys narrowly lost 2-1 but put in a tremendous performance.
A large number of fixtures have been postponed due to the weather. However, our Year 10 Boys’ Football Team narrowly lost on penalties to Prestatyn in Round 4 of the Welsh Schools’ Cup. Hard luck lads, and thanks for your efforts!
Exciting News for STEM Club
We have just received some fantastic news about our lower school STEM club. We should be in a position to share this with you more fully next week.
See you back here soon for the next School Blog!
