Assemblies in school this week have been supporting Black History month. The theme for this year’s Black History month is “Time for Change: Actions Not Words”. The purpose of this theme is not just to educate people on Black History but to inform and empower people to be true allies in the anti-racism movement.

On Thursday, our Year 11 geographers went on a field trip to Sandown as part of their GCSE course. The students were all extremely well behaved and the trip was a great success!

On Wednesday, we held our Federation Careers Event for Year 11. It was a great evening with many external visitors giving information to our Year 11 students and their parents regarding opportunities post-16. Thank you to all those who attended.

Next Wednesday, we have our Year 7 Tutor Evening. This is an opportunity for parents of year 7 students to meet with their child’s tutor to discuss their progress and how they are settling into secondary school. If you haven’t already booked an appointment, please do so via Arbor. We look forward to welcoming you.

The next Parent Voice meeting will take place in school on Tuesday 17 October at 6.00 pm. This is for existing parents and new year 7 parents are also invited to attend. If you have any questions with regards to Parent Voice, please email louise.southwell@iwef.org.uk.

Finally, we are currently recruiting for a Parent Governor. Letters have been sent out to parents today. For more information, please see our website.

Have a lovely weekend.
