Provision for Our Critical Worker Students

In addition to the remote learning taking place and live lessons, staff have been supporting some students in school. We have had between 30-40 students in school each day who are children of critical workers and/or meet the DfE criteria. Students have continued their learning online, but with support from staff in Learning Support or teachers. LSPs have been superb in providing expert support and care with these students. While teachers have been on hand to give further guidance. 

The full curriculum is on offer, with the added benefit of being on site so students are able to access some resources in PE and Music. Mr Conway has delivered some live PE lessons in school enabling these students to take part.  

Students have been studying while adhering to the guidance on staying safe in schools, for instance when using the IT facilities in the Sixth Form area. They have commented that they ‘enjoy the structure of the day’ and that ‘they are learning well with the help from teachers’ and their LSPs. Being in school has helped them maintain a sense of routine during these uncertain times.  

We thank all our staff for all their efforts in supporting the students and we are pleased to be able to offer this support. With the restrictions of lockdown and safety of all in mind, we have to monitor numbers carefully; however, if your circumstances have changed and you feel your child qualifies for a place you should contact the school.

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
