Dear Parents and Carers,
As we near the end of another fantastic half term, school is a busy as ever!
We close for the Easter break on Wednesday at 3pm. Although it is a short
week, learning continues as usual.
We have been supporting Sport Relief this week and the PE faculty have
arranged many events such as Run to Russia, 10 mile Challenge and Tough
Runner Obstacle Course, in which I am taking part! Staff and pupils have
been involved in all the events and we hope to have raised lots of money for
this good cause. Read all about it in our next newsletter.
Manchester United Foundation work closely with our school and they have
held a variety of events this week that some of our pupils have been lucky
enough to attend. These events are to enable the children to experience a
wide range of experiences from future employability and leadership to the
many sporting events that Mr Buckley (who works for the Foundation)
organises for the school.
Don’t forget our Coffee Evening on Wednesday 28th March which will run
from 4.00 pm until 5.30 pm. We are discussing the very important topic of
Safeguarding. I hope you can make it!
Enjoy the rest of the articles in this week’s edition, and I wish you and your families a happy Easter break. School opens again to pupils on Monday 16th April.
Yours sincerely
Ms S Finlay
Headteacher
Safeguarding Tip:
Mental health affects us all. Encourage your child to tell somebody. If you need support please contact school.

Year 7 & 8 Rugby Tournament

Those who took part played excellently and finished the competition winning one, drawing two and losing one game. Well done to all of those involved. Hopefully future rugby successes are on the horizon!
Science
Mrs Awais from the Science faculty ran a workshop for parents on 8th
March. This was to show them the resources available for pupils and parents to use for homework and revision. The workshop showed parents how to access their child's Pearson Active Learn account as well as use the online textbooks and quizzes. This is a resource that is always available for homework and any extra revision pupils may want to do. Parents can also use the Active Learn to go through any topics at home when pupils are finding anything difficult.
The workshop also outlined the use of knowledge organisers, learning plans and the Science revision organisers. All of these resources can be used by pupils and parents to keep track of current process in modules or to design revision quizzes, flash cards and mind maps. The workshop was well received by the attending parents and all found it extremely helpful.
