A View from<br />
It’s been a delight this year to see our students,<br />
particularly Year 7, show off their skills and talents in<br />
Performing Arts. Whether through acting, singing or<br />
instrument playing I’ve been impressed by the<br />
enthusiasm and determination of students not only to<br />
perform in class or in the various school concerts, but also<br />
to want to really improve their performance and playing<br />
techniques. Every breaktime and lunchtime practice<br />
rooms are being used and after school opportunities are<br />
happily taken up to enable students to progress in their<br />
music making.<br />
Watch this space as next year we aim to increase the<br />
number of workshops, clubs and individual instrument<br />
tuition sessions leading to graded exams.<br />
These are exciting times!<br />
Mr Hyden - Music<br />
This year our students have had the opportunity<br />
outside of the high quality core PE lessons to be<br />
involved in another busy programme of extracurricular<br />
activities and district/County competitions.<br />
Students have had the opportunity to represent the<br />
school in teams at cross-country, badminton, indoor<br />
athletics, netball, rounders, football, cricket,<br />
swimming and futsal to name a few.<br />
In terms of achievement teams have had both district<br />
and even County success with one highlight being<br />
the Y9 Boys futsal team winning a county title earlier<br />
in the year.<br />
We are incredibly proud of their achievements.<br />
Mr Mason - P.E.<br />
Having been a part of the selection process for Student<br />
Voice representatives for many years, I have been<br />
delighted to see that more students have applied this year<br />
than ever before and have been encouraged by their<br />
enthusiasm.<br />
I think students are more convinced now that they will be<br />
heard, and can really make a difference. We proved this a<br />
few weeks ago when our Student Voice reps had a meeting<br />
and came up with the idea of a mini football tournament.<br />
Within 24 hours, it was all arranged and posters were on<br />
display around the school. The Tournament was held just<br />
a few weeks later after school with the team 'Wilnecote<br />
Lads’ being crowned the victors, much to their delight!<br />
Mrs S Taylor - Pastoral<br />
It's been a year of change in English! We have<br />
implemented new schemes of work and resources across<br />
all year groups. This is to ensure that all year groups are<br />
working towards and prepared in skills that will be<br />
beneficial in their English Language and Literature GCSE.<br />
This has included increased challenge and many of our<br />
Key Stage 3 students have relished the opportunity to<br />
push themselves and work outside their comfort zone.<br />
We continue to develop these schemes for the upcoming<br />
academic year. Well done Key Stage 3 and 4 on a much<br />
more challenging year.<br />
