Thank you for your support over this last half term. The best way for students to succeed is for the school and parents to work in partnership, delivering the same consistent message about behaviour for learning expectations as well as life aspirations. We do appreciate your support with these messages.
We have had a week celebrating successes and talents. This culminated in the Federation Christmas Concert at St John’s Church in Newport last night. This event was a shining example of what can be achieved when students and staff are dedicated towards a cause. The students were a credit to us as a Federation as well as themselves and I was very proud to be in the audience watching them perform to such a high standard. Thank you to all of the students who took part in this and the staff who have supported them. It is beginning to feel alot like Christmas…
Year 11 students now only have four school days before the start of their trial exams. Attendance in school and in lessons is absolutely essential. This is one of the biggest factors that can affect the grade that a student achieves in the summer. Students need to use the next two weeks to relax, enjoy some other activities but it is also advisable to plan in some revision time to ensure that they give themselves the best opportunity w/c 9 January. Timetables have now been shared with students and parents so that students can plan their revision timetable for that week appropriately.
If you celebrate Christmas, then I wish you a Happy Christmas, and to everyone, I wish you an enjoyable break (if you get one) and peaceful new year.
