In April we had a team of four senior leaders from local schools with a qualified Ofsted inspector in college for two days carrying out a ‘mocksted’.  In their report of the visit, the team commented very favourably on our students; 

• ‘Behaviour was judged as good, much of which was outstanding’
• ‘Students’ behaviour outside of lessons is almost always impeccable’
• ‘Students are punctual to lessons and their behaviour and language on the corridor are superb’

We are very proud of our students and want them to feel that their hard work and commitment are recognised and rewarded.  ‘Outstanding’ certificates have been issued and a series of special House assemblies, led by the Heads and Assistant Heads of House, held to celebrate some of their outstanding successes during the Spring Term.  Unfortunately there are too many students to mention by name, but here is an overview of the number of our year 10 and 11 students who received at least one certificate. 

• Outstanding Attendance (100% attendance for the Spring Term) x 43 students
• Outstanding Attitude to Learning (Outstanding (1) in all subject reports) x 122
• Outstanding Behaviour (no sanctions issued for infringements to our behaviour expectations) x 223 students
• Outstanding Progress (on or above target grade on all subject reports)
• Students who make an impressive effort in a lesson, sporting activity, college event or in supporting other students are issued with House points and at the end of the term we reward the top 30 KS4 students for Outstanding Commitment
• GOLD x 5 students
  Chloe Cadle, Angel Harlow, Charlotte Poole, Amber Porter, Mollie Toon
• SILVER x 10 students
  Zara Bull, Sian Coaton, Alexandra Derbyshire, Mollie-Jayne Herbert, Sadie Hurst, King Fung Lo, Lucy Poyser, Aaron Symes-Goodman, Calum Weaver, Nicola Wootton
• BRONZE x 15 students
  William Bailey, Megan Clarke, Toby Crook, Tia Dann, Nicole Dingley, Emily Jarvis, Yau Lo, Jessica Mazuryk, Samuel Palmer, Jack Richardson, Ellie Spencer, Ellese Taylor, Callum Wilkes, Hannah Williams, Jessica Wright 

PRINCIPAL’s AWARD Any student who receives four or more Outstanding certificates in a term also receives a Principal’s Award.  At the end of the spring Term 13 students received a Principal’s Award: 
Zara Bull, Nicole Dingley, Isabelle Drexler, King Fung Lo, Joshua Lomas, Olivia McCullock, Bethany Potter, Miles Price, Owen Smith, Ellie Spencer, Hope Trigg, Hannah Williams, Nicola Wootton

The names of all the students who have received a Principal’s Award at the end of the Autumn and Spring Terms are put into a hat and Mr Coles, the Principal, draws out a winner and this student receives an IPad.  This year the lucky student was Mackenzie Thomson 10BRWI pictured below with Mr Coles.
