Year 11 will be sitting mock exams over a 2 week period, starting on Monday 8th November:
Please note that Wednesday 10th November may be subject to change due to the school nurses being in to administer Covid Vaccines.
Students have been given revision resources to help them prepare for these mocks, as well as having access to Seneca (science), Hegarty (maths) and all their previous session slides on google classrooms.
Information for parents who have students in Year 11.
The following dates are important to those students who are in their GCSE year 2021/2022.
Students this week have been given their own copy of the revision guide for our History exam board OCR B SHP History. All students should have named their copy so that if they are misplaced they can be returned. Students are encouraged to annotate and highlight the guide as they carry out their revision.
The revision guide has a number of different topics, however, students will need to focus on the following sections for revision:
The locations of these topics can be found in the contents page. We would recommend in general students start by revising The People’s Health as well as focusing on page 88 in order to prepare for the upcoming assessment in lessons.Â
If any student has been absent when these revision guides were handed out, they can see myself or Mrs Hannam directly and we will make sure they get their copy.
A further revision guide focusing on the Viking Expansion will be issued to students in the coming weeks.
It is really great to be back in school and watching all the students engaged in their new expedition with the guiding question “What’s love got to do with it”. The above timetable is what subject lessons the students in Year 11 have for their week at school.
It has been a refreshing start for the Year with a wonderful coastal walk along the Yorkshire Flamborough Coastline. The start point was South Landing and the finish point was North Landing. We all stopped for a Lighthouse lunch overlooking the North sea. It was funny to watch some of the boys protecting their lunch from the seagulls as they hovered above their heads. 
Students today and tomorrow who hold prescribed medication at school will be handed back their medication. Students who require medication to be taken at school in the new term 2021/22 will be required to fill in the medication form.
The Google form is required to be filled in and then press send. This then gives staff consent to administer medication and for it to be kept on school premises.
Please ensure Inhalers, Epi-pens and other prescribed medications are sent into school with the childâs name and expiry date clearly visible.
Students in Year 11 (C24) will be going on a coastal walk to Flamborough on Thursday 2nd September 2021.
All students will be expected to bring the Outdoor Kit listed below;
Appropriate rucksack for walking
Packed lunch
Water bottle – Approx 2 litres.
Waterproof Outer Jacket
Appropriate walking trousers/shorts/leggings.
Walking top/base layer – Made from synthetic, man made material (polyester, nylon etc). This type of material removes sweat away from your skin keeping you cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.
Appropriate outdoor shoes (trainers, walking shoes or walking boots are compulsory)
Sun hat
Sun cream
Medication – (As required to individual needs).
For further information or questions please email [email protected] or your childâs crew leader.
We are super excited to be taking C24 out on fieldwork on Thursday, 1st July.
We have arranged to take the whole of Y10 to Shrewsbury Prison, to support our final expedition of the year: Karma Police â have we got justice right?
Shrewsbury Prison was decommissioned in 2013 and now provides an âinteractive prison experienceâ for visitors. It was also recently used as the location for BBCâs drama âTimeâ, which gave a harrowing picture of prison life.
Weâre not giving too much away about the activities weâve got planned for students, but we promise not to leave any of them locked in the cells 😉
We are booked in at the prison at 9.30am meaning that we do have to set off between 6.45am-7am at the latest. If this is a problem for anyone, please let your Crew Leader know as soon as possible.
We will be leaving the prison at approx 1pm, so hope to be back at school between 3.30-4pm, traffic dependant. We will update socials on the day.
Please make sure students wear comfortable clothes and take a jacket as it can become cold in the prison and sensible shoes. Students will also need a packed lunch and sufficient water for the day. Please donât pack any products containing nuts in packed lunches as we are a nut-free school! If your child is in receipt of free school meals, a packed lunch will be provided for them.
In Crew Hawking, the students have returned to school this term and are working on their HOWLS. The pictures above show examples of how the crew are working hard and getting smart. The crew alongside the rest of their year 10 cohort are also revising and sitting their mock exams over the next two weeks. Below is their mock timetable.
It is great to have the crew back in school. They have all settled very well in getting into their routine and working off their Timetable. As you can see their timetable in school is very busy.
Now the crew are back, they have started to reflect on their habits of work and learning and this is where they critique themselves and their peers in crew on their HOWLS. To support their Work Hard, Get Smart and Be Kind grades each student will once a week reflect and grade themselves on their HOWLS and enter their own grades for each subject lesson they study on how they are performing in Work Hard, Get Smart and Be Kind. through this process each student will hopefully work on the subject areas where they need to improve.
How we grade ourselves in Crew. Work Hard, Get Smart and Be Kind.
The second time around for whole school closure. Since returning to education in the Year 2021, I would like to appreciate how well the students are coping and managing with their online learning. Below is the timetable that Crew Hawking along with their peers in year 10 log onto daily during the week, for their lessons.
YEAR 10 / X24
Every Friday afternoon all 50 students in year 10 XP go onto the community online class where Mr Voltaire (Year 10 assistant principal) celebrates the great learning that the year 10 students are achieving. below are a few of the praises from Crew Hawking.
Jaggy is getting smart and I am so proud of him.
Symbolism in Artwork. Evan has been working on the Learning Target: I understand and can describe how artists create meaning through their work.
