Huge well done to our sports leaders who supported the KS2 athletics event today. The students were fantastic role models leading events and supporting the staff. It is fantastic to see leaders of the future promoting physical activity.

Well done Year 9

Year 7’s current expedition ‘Hold Back the River’ has the guiding question, ‘How does water shape our world?’

During this expedition, our geography content is focusing on river characteristics from source to mouth, river processes, formation of landforms as well as the cause, impacts and responses of flooding. As part of this, we are applying the theory of river processes and characteristics to the field.

On Tuesday 2nd (East) and Thursday 4th (XP) of July, students will visit Endcliffe park in Sheffield. They will work together to collect data regarding the width, depth, velocity and load of rivers. We will also be capturing the beauty of a river by completing artwork. This data collection will allow us to accept or reject our hypothesis once we have analysed our data in our maths lessons.

Students will need to arrive at school no later than 8.00am so that the register and kit check can be completed before leaving school.

It is also essential that all students bring all of the kit on the KIT LIST so that they are fully prepared for the fieldwork; this includes a packed lunch and water to drink. Students who receive free school meals will be provided with a lunch.

Students will need to ensure they have suitable walking boots/trainers as well as wellies or a pair of trainers they can get wet – we’ll be going in the river to collect the data!  If there are any problems in getting the appropriate kit before this, please email your child’s Crew Leader. 

Students will be returning to school by the end of the school day (traffic dependent).

As the weather is getting hotter can you remind students to bring sun cream and water bottles please.

Kind regards

Taster session am is 9.15 – 11.30, pm is 12.30 – 2pm

Taster day letters will be given out to students in Crew on Tuesday 25th June. Students cannot change their allocated taster option as we have staffed appropriate tasters according to numbers attending and group sizes have been set. This is not to say we cannot alter anything. We may be able to make slight adjustments to consider new starters, sickness etc.

• Please remind students that clothing/safety equipment requirements are indicated in their letter.

• Where requirements are indicated, please let school know if pupils do not have the required clothing, safety footwear/overalls etc. We have a limited supply and will endeavour to help.

• Lunch vouchers will be available for staff attending and students entitled to free lunches, please can you provide the number of students on FSM.

• Students can bring packed lunch or will be able to purchase lunch in our canteen.

We have booked transport to pick up approximately 08:30 or soon after registration. Students will be back at school by the end of the school day.

We have just left Norton to return to XP East to degunge. The coach was delayed collecting us by almost an hour, however we have started degunge before leaving and therefore we are hopeful to still meet our 6pm finish in readiness for collection. We have lots of tired children.
