Family Fun Run- Please sign up!

March 28, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

Mental Health Awareness Week takes place in May.

The theme this year is “Movement: Moving more for our mental health”. To kick start the week we are organising a big family fun run and would like as many people in our school community to take part as possible.

The event will take place on Saturday 11th May at 2pm and we invite all students and their parents/carers, siblings and extended family to take part. Entry is £2 per person and all money raised will be going to one of our school charities: Youth Talk. This is a fantastic local charity that supports many of our students.

The fun run is a 2k course and will not be timed, it’s a fun community event where people can choose to run, walk or jog.

The run will start on the school field behind the Discovery Centre and the route is all on grass.

Our school PTA will be selling refreshments afterwards.

If you would like to take part then please complete the Google form and then send payment via School Gateway.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Year 7 Science

March 26, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

This week, our Year 7 Science students showcased their creativity and subject knowledge through a collection of captivating projects centred around cell organelles and their functions.

These projects not only demonstrated their understanding of the topic but also highlighted their enthusiasm for learning science. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for all the parents for their unwavering support to make these projects a success. Congratulations to our talented students on their outstanding work!

A-Level results day

March 21, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

Information about A Level results day and the process for the day.

A Level results day is on Thursday 15th August. The school will be open from 9am for students to come in and collect their results.

Normally, students will know before hand if they have been accepted onto their university courses or not. If your child is not accepted or has changed their mind on their first choice, then they will have to go through clearing. I and other teachers will be on hand during the morning to support students through this process.

Please see the following guidance from UCAS regarding the clearing process. https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/clearing-and-results-day

Students will also have a Learning for Life lesson on this topic and student finance.

If you have any questions please contact me at the school.

Mr Tominey
Head of Sixth Form

Apprenticeships and technical education survey

March 20, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

We would like to ask for your help in completing this short survey.

By completing this survey we can better understand the views and support needs of parents and carers regarding apprenticeships and technical education for your child.

As one of the key influencers in a young person’s decision-making journey, it is important that we can help you feel confident in helping and supporting your child to explore the many options that are available beyond school.

By completing this survey, you are contributing towards the development of the Hertfordshire Apprenticeships Strategy, helping to secure funding to better support your child’s school and providing important insights to be used both at an individual school and county-wide level. If you would like more information, please visit the HOP website.

This survey is being conducted by Amazing Apprenticeships on behalf of Hertfordshire LEP and Hertfordshire Careers Hub. All responses will be kept confidential, and we will not share your details or individual responses with any other parties.

If you have more than one child currently in secondary school, please answer the following questions with your eldest secondary school-aged child in mind.

The survey should take between 5 – 10 minutes to complete.

Opportunity for students interested in a career in the NHS

March 20, 2024/in General News/by Isabelle Stuckey

We have received the following information from medicmentor.org for students from years 10-13 who are interested in a career in the NHS:

After the success of our recent NHS National AHP Work Experience session, I am thrilled to extend an invitation to your students in years 10-13 or S3-S6 year groups for our upcoming session on Sunday 7th April, 8:30am – 5pm, focusing on Communication & Fractures.

Register here: https://alliedhealthmentor.org/nhs-healthcare-careers-virtual-work-experience/

The NHS Virtual Allied Healthcare Work Experience offers a unique opportunity for aspiring healthcare professionals. It’s a rare occasion for students to hear from our exceptional guest speaker, Melanie Dalby, a pharmacist specialising in haematology and clinical academic research lead for pharmacy at King’s College Hospital.

Melanie will provide invaluable guidance to help these future professionals embark on their dream healthcare careers. Following Melanie’s talk, students will gain an intimate look at the healthcare industry in the LIVE virtual work experience, delving into diverse roles within allied healthcare and taking a closer look at patient care by following the journeys of two patients from incident through to treatment.
