I would like to thank Connexions (Megan & Hayley) for their support at 'The Pathways Advice Evening' on Wednesday. The personalised guidance given to prospective students and their parents was invaluable in helping students make important course choices for their future. The guidance websites also helped students begin to focus on their academic strengths and needs and begin to tailor their options to suit their future aims and plans. I know that the parents and students who attended found the evening very helpful.
Miss Esther Miller from the Science department also spoke about the importance of STEM -Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. As the STEM co-ordinator for the school she is available to guide students and is also planning to highlight the need and importance of STEM in this country and also the increased role of women in STEM.
Some important dates are :
Closing date for applications : FRIDAY 28th JANUARY 2011
Interviews for students : Wednesday 9th February 2011

Year 12 INDUCTION : Wednesday 20th July & Thursday 21st July 2011

The building continues to progress and take shape with windows in and the internal structure coming along well. James Batty has promised me another tour soon and I am looking forward to that. Each week marks another stage of development and takes us a step closer to the completion of the build and the 'Grand Opening.'
