Term one is now complete and it is a good opportunity to reflect on the progress that has been made. When I arrived in September, everything was still at the planning stage. However, over the past 7 weeks we have finalised the curriculum with 4 pathways to cater for as many needs and interests as possible. The prospectus is written - it includes an overview of all the courses on offer and also a seperate prospectus about the facilities and opportunities we are offering Post 16 learners. The Open evening is planned and should be a fantastic launch for the opening of the Sixth Form next academic year. The advertisements in the press look great and have already generated interest from outside the school. Mr McCarey is also making a film of our vision for the sixth form which will be shown on the Open evening.
This is a very good school with so much on offer for students and with a great future ahead for all of us. Yesterday Mr McCarey was working on the sixth form film and we had Year 11 students, out of uniform and in lessons. It was a glimpse of the future - to see pupils transforming into young adult students and beginning to take on the challenges of Post 16 learning. I feel honoured and privileged to be part of the growth and development of this school and feel excited by the opportunties we are going to be able to offer the students.
