What’s New: Having managed an OfSTED inspection very successfully in March
2017, the school then prepared for its International Baccalaureate review
which was completed last week.
Unlike OfSTED we know that a review will happen every 5 years and we
have twelve months to undertake a ‘self study’ involving meetings with
key stakeholders and questionnaires. The outcome is an action plan
which is presented to the visitors. We now await its consideration by
moderators in The Hague, which is the headquarters of the IB’s Africa,
Europe and the Middle East region. The final report will contain
commendations, recommendations and, if appropriate, matters to be
addressed. The review itself will cover both the IB Diploma and the
Career Programme.
We would like to thank the staff, parents and students who participated in
this review. At the end of their stay one of the visitors commented that “it
was a pleasure to meet and talk with your students”.
We can now turn our attention to how we celebrate our 40th birthday as
an IB World School. With the number of IB schools falling in the UK, it
is of the utmost importance that we draw strength from this remarkable
achievement and approach the future with renewed confidence. The IB
approach to education affects everyone in the school; staff and students
alike whether or not they actually follow an IB programme. We have
identified 906 IB graduates who have passed through this school since
1990. We would like to hear from them and, indeed, anyone who went
before them from the first year of the IB in 1977—please contact

A word from the Sixth Form: As we start to move towards the end of a long term,
it is very easy to already think you are in the
Christmas holidays and therefore start to wind down
in terms of your efforts and focus. My advice is that
you need to keep that drive and energy going right
to the end of the term, as these are still crucial
weeks. For the Upper Sixth, with your mock exams
taking place in the first weeks of next year, it is
essential that you use these remaining weeks to
consolidate your knowledge and to use your
teachers to clarify any outstanding questions, so that
you are fully prepared for your mock exams.
For the Lower Sixth, you will have noticed that the
amount of work and difficulty of it will have started
to increase since half term and therefore with 'mini-
mocks' on the horizon for you in the early part of
next term, you again need to make sure you are
reflecting on, and adding to, what you have learnt
so far. A final reminder, as we discussed in our
assembly, that a basic rule for success at this level is
that for every hour you are taught you should be
aiming to replicate that hour with independent
study, reviewing your understanding and reading
ahead for the next challenge. With only a few
weeks to go, I know you can maintain this focus, so
let's keep this going so that you can really say you
have 'earned' your holidays!
Mr Newton, Director of Sixth Form

Attention all drivers ….
Could we remind all parents once again that
student safety whilst on school site is
paramount. Parents should only drive onto
the school site to pick up children if they
have a parking permit. Parking permits can
only be issued by the Headteachers upon
receipt of a letter, explaining the reasons
behind the need to drive onto school site.
Cars should be driving less than 5 MPH and
in a safe manner respecting the safety of all
students. We ask that no cars leave or enter
the school site between 3.30-3.45pm to
ensure the safe passage of students off the
premises. Please also respect the staff
members on duty who are trying to ensure
the safety of all the students.
