Things to celebrate

Homework and Self-directed study
We have six types of homework which we set in order to broaden, consolidate and enhance your child’s learning. Each week we will share with you one of the types of homework.
Please see below for this week’s ‘Read it’ examples and our reason for setting this type of homework task (click to enlarge):
Satchel One
You can keep track of your child’s homework using Satchel:One.
Homework Club
Please remind your child that homework club is available to all students Monday-Thursday in the Library (apart from Monday week B) where support and IT equipment is is available.
Personal Development
The next character trait that we will be focusing on is Confidence. If students are confident, they are likely to be motivated, perform well, form good relationships and they will believe in themselves. A confident student is more likely to succeed than one who lacks confidence. Key information on ‘being confident’ is included below.

Message from the Headteacher
Dear Parents and Carers,
Now that the new term is well underway and our students are settled into their new classes and routines, we are ready to launch Freddie’s Focus on the Stars for this academic year. Every two weeks, we ask staff to select the students from each year group who have stood out in each subject area and their names are celebrated in form time. Heads of Year will issue their bi-weekly Head of Year Award and I will receive nominations for my Headteacher Award. It is really important that we celebrate our students’ successes as it builds a culture of excellence across the school. These awards celebrate not just academic success, but can also reflect achievements outside of school, extra-curricular involvement or when a student has shown great character in line with our BEST values. Nominations have started to come in this week, and we will be sharing our first set of Freddie’s stars with all the students during the week commencing Monday 10th October.
Regards,
Mr Davies.
