Headteacher's Message
Parents & Carers
At last a week without too much rain - although the hailstones earlier on certainly made up for it!
Examination season is very much upon us. Both our Year 9 and Year 11 students have risen to the challenge extremely well this week and have been a credit to the school. We wish our year 11 every success in their public examinations. From next week, they will be following a new timetable, details of which were attached to last week’s Greensheet and are also available on our website.
I am thrilled to report that just under twenty Year 9 students were invited to attend the exclusive Mybank Birthday Party at the Royal Festival Hall on Tuesday. Our work around financial awareness training and the setting up and running of our own bank was held up as an example to schools across the UK and Europe. Three of our students gave speeches outlining the training they had with MyBnk and the skills and qualities they have gained from it. People present included the Managing director of HMV, leaders of JP Morgan Bank and the Vice President of the European Union. You may recall that the work of our students has already featured on Swedish television. We are grateful once again to Mr Marley and Ms Shafiq for enabling this activity and giving up their time to accompany the students. Congratulations to all those who took part and thanks to all their parents for their support. What an excellent once in a lifetime opportunity for our students this has been!
For your diaries, please note that, weather permitting, the Borough Sports Day takes place this Friday. A large number of students are taking part and we wish them luck and success. The results will be published shortly. Please note that the date of our own WSFG Sports Day is June 1st - more details to follow in the next Greensheet.
Thank you for your continued support,
Best wishes
Meryl Davies
