Year ten leaders of their own learning students, hosted two expert police visitors in session yesterday. The session was a Q&A style focused on consolidating their knowledge around their exam topic Rights and Responsibilities!
Year ten were thoroughly impressed with the officers who attended and appreciated the stories shared from the Police.
A great session of getting smart for all!
E26 Working Hard and Getting Smart in English
X26 spent time on Friday learning about what to expect in an English Language GCSE exam. Pupils have been focussing on English Literature skills recently, so this was a great opportunity to revisit some of the work on non-fiction from before Christmas.
As this was a Component 2 Reading Section walk through mock, pupils initially had to read one text and find key pieces of information quickly. Some pupils find it stressful to work to a tightly controlled time limit so this was a valuable experience to get a real idea of how the timings will work in their GCSEs.
Next, pupils conducted close reading and analysis to find examples of how the writer presented snow positively. Many pupils were pleasantly surprised at the simplicity of writing their responses using the scaffolding provided by the teacher. It was great to hear so many pupils asking how to access the highest marks and the top bands. Many were trying to find nine or more quotations to use in their answer, despite only having fifteen minutes to write it!
Well done to X26, your effort and focus on this task were a credit to you. Both Mrs Desborough and Mrs Cross are very proud of you!

X26 Admiral using watercolour paints and pencil
As part of their last expedition of Year 9, pupils have been looking at artist Ester Roi. After experimenting with watercolour paints and pencil they are now having a go at recreating a piece of artwork. X26 Admiral have made an excellent start and I can’t wait to see their work progress.

Crew Blessed bringing 2021 to a close…
It has been a long, eventful, successful and at times a challenging term for Crew Blessed. They have demonstrated our school character traits on a weekly basis from their amazing attendance as a Crew through to the quality of their work. This work was presented to a Year 7 audience following the recent change in restrictions regarding COVID. It was great to be able to see them discuss all the aspects of their work in such detail and with such maturity.
There has been some real personal successes this term and lots of character development by everyone in Crew Blessed. This development is great timing as we have Passage Presentation to look forward to in the New Year.
He’s taken on Piers Morgan, but can Jon McClure- lead singer of the band Reverend and the Makers- handle grillings by X26 and E26?
They may only be Year 8s, but they’re the next generation to challenge injustice and support when it’s right to ‘Fight the Power’. As well as curently raising funds to commerorate the Doncaster Suffragettes, they’re working to become young, poetic activists as they write their own verses for their ‘Fight the Power!’ expedition.
For someone who doesn’t like ‘fake news’, Trump and his pal Piers know how to create it…(cue Jon McClure stepping into the ring).
South Yorkshire star Jon, brings his expertise as a song-writer and poet, as well as having a First Class History and Politics degree! Jon has collaborated on lyrics with the Arctic Monkeys, whilst also having written the music for his own band who have had chart success with anthems such as Heavy Weight Champion of the World. From drawing festival crowds and packing out gig venues, to appearing on politics shows and Good Morning Britain, this guy has lots of wisdom to impart on our Year 8s. The man who said “When we see people like yourself fawning over Donald Trump, then we feel the need to stand up and say something,” will hopefully be inspiring our students to do the same.
Jon will be chatting with our students via Google Hangout (we’re sure he will have the same presence and ‘draw the crowds in’, despite Covid restictions) on Monday afternoon (7th December). Good Morning Britain will be quaking in their boots…or booking us for their next debate!
