Things to celebrate
- This week, our Year 11 students began their GCSE examinations. We are so proud of their maturity, resilience and determination. Good luck Year 11!
- Despite defeat, our Year 11 football team demonstrated fantastic teamwork and maturity representing Freddie’s at the Greater Manchester Schools County Cup Final.
- It has been lovely to see so many of our younger students supporting during our in school Parents’ Evenings; they are excellent representatives of Freddie’s.
- The amount of students taking part in the extra-curricular activities available to them is wonderful to see. We would like to encourage all of our students to get involved with as many of these opportunities as possible during their time at Freddie’s.

Homework and Self-directed study
The importance of Proofreading:
Staff are continually encouraging our students to take pride in the quality of their written work. To help, we have introduced the new Freddie’s Proofreading Guidance. Please encourage your child to check all of their work, avoiding more basic errors by proofreading carefully.
Homework Club
Please remind your child that homework club is available to all students Monday-Thursday where they can complete work in a quiet environment with staff on hand to support them.
Personal Development
Over the next few weeks as part of our work on developing character we will be focusing on being tolerant. If students are tolerant of others, they will accept other students’ differences, develop a healthy respect for one another and learn to live in a rich and diverse community. We also want all students to feel that this is their school and they belong here.

Message from the Headteacher
This week, our Year 11 football team played in the Greater Manchester School’s Cup Final. Unfortunately, they were beaten by Wright Robinson College; nevertheless, getting to the final was a significant achievement for the team as it was the first time a Freddie’s team has managed this. The team have been coached and managed by Mr Rigby.
Sadly, Mr Rigby will be leaving Freddie’s this half term to take up a position at Swinton High School. Mr Rigby has been with our school for 24 years and has made a huge contribution to the life of our school. I know the result on Wednesday was not quite the swan song that Mr Rigby would have liked as he bows out from Freddie’s, but we wish him all the very best of luck and thank him for the contribution he has made to our school over the years.
At the end of this half term, we also say farewell to our Careers Advisor Mrs Russell. In recent years, Mrs Russell has helped to transform our careers provision. As a result of her work, and working with Mr Nuttall, the school has been nominated for an Excellence in Careers Education. We wish her all the very best for the future.
Mr Davies.
