Welcome to our last newsletter for this half term.
This week we have had our Celebration Assemblies for all year groups. Attendance, progress and attitudes to learning were all celebrated. I was impressed with the number of Headteacher awards that I had the pleasure of presenting and very proud of the recipient of the Pride of Carisbrooke Awards. Congratulations to our winners and keep up the good work.
We had our year 7 Disco on Wednesday to celebrate how well the students have settled into life at secondary school. The evening was a great success and it was lovely to see the students in their party outfits and having fun.
On Thursday I had the pleasure of joining the Year 11 geography students on a field trip as part of their GCSE studies to Sandown and Yaverland. Thankfully the weather improved as the day went on and it was a very interesting and informative trip that all the students enjoyed.
On Thursday 3 November between 5.00 pm and 8.00 pm, The Island VI Form, our federated VI Form provision based in Nodehill has its Open Evening. This is an opportunity for year 11 to find out in more detail the courses that are on offer and what VI Form life is like. They can look at the facilities, talk to staff and students about the subjects and begin to think about what they are going to do when they leave year 11. There are over 40 subjects at Level 3 for them to choose from. Please have a look at the website for more details.
We have a staff development day on Monday 31 October, so we are closed to students (except for those students sitting an exam at The Island VI Form). We’ll see all students back into school on Tuesday 1 November.
Have a great half term break.
