A LETTER FROM OUR HEADTEACHER - MR I SMITH

GRIFFIN
It is getting close to the exams now for Year
11. A lot of our pupils have been hard at
work after school with revision – well done
and keep it up! This half term has also seen a
huge increase in Year 11 attendance and a lot
of 100% certificates have been awarded. This
half term has also seen the following pupils
rewarded for dedication to their form and
house:
7G1 – Zaynab Mahmood & Musaddiq
Ahmed
8G1 – Malika Dossani & Ronnie Russell
9G1 – Roshna Gurung & Corey May
10G1 – Megan Hodge & Morgan Lowe
11G1/2 – Naomi Bailes-Bhujel &
Thomas Palmer
Also congratulations to Naomi Bailes-Bhujel
11G1 and Kelis Brittain 7G1 who won the Pi
Day competition!
Outside of school Aimee Grimstead 8G1 has
taken part in a dance show and competition
in Atherstone coming in second place! – Well
done Aimee!
PHOENIX
This has been a very busy half term and Phoenix House
has lots of exciting news to share as we build up to the
Easter break. Since February half-term, Etone College
has been busy thinking about Careers and aspirations.
Year 10 Phoenix pupils have been considering what
their future might look like in terms of post -16 study
and apprenticeships while we know that Year 9 pupils
are busy choosing options for KS4. Remember: if you
are not quite sure what you want to do as a job, you
should aim towards the subjects and areas you enjoy!
As we embark upon the Easter break, we yet again
celebrate more success in our Progress Praise
celebrations for Progress Report 3. Once again, we are
extremely proud to see such a significant contingency
from Phoenix House collecting certificates for
attainment, progress and attendance.
We are especially proud of the pupils that are
nominated for ‘outstanding contribution towards
House’ as this is a measure of those qualities that
matter as much as academic achievement: teamwork,
independence and resilience. These are skills that will
help you achieve in the world outside school and
beyond. These pupils are: Alexandria Hood and Jay
McHardy (7P1); Ammi Das and Eduard Zgarci (8P1);
Katie McIlveen and Oliver Costall (9P1); Erina Rai and
Jordan Dunne (10P1) and Rachhel Limbu (11P1) and
Jiordan Honey (11P2)
We are also supporting our Year 11 pupils as they now
reach the home stretch of their build up towards the
summer examinations. Remember that you must pace
yourselves! Revise and focus but also take time to
switch off now and then. Revision does not need to be a
chore if you organise your time! Accept all
opportunities that are offered through after school and
Easter revision sessions. The more effort…the greater
the reward. Have a fantastic Easter Break!
We are ‘Team Phoenix’, we support each other and work
together to achieve ‘nothing less than our very best,’ we
ensure we are organised, punctual and committed to our
future.
