Performance of ‘A Christmas Carol’<br />

On Thursday, 14th December, pupils in year 11 had the fantastic opportunity of<br />

watching a live theatre performance of ‘A Christmas Carol.’<br />

It was an enjoyable experience for all and the pupils found it an incredibly useful way<br />

to support their understanding of this text, a component of the English Literature<br />

GCSE course. Having the play brought to life on stage, full of drama, music and<br />

laughter, was a wonderful way to enhance their studies and it was lovely to see some<br />

of the pupils (and teachers) joining in with the acting too!<br />

Saturday School <strong>2018</strong>-19<br />

Here at <strong>Selly</strong> <strong>Park</strong> Girls’, we run an effective intervention strategy of having the<br />

school open all day Saturday to allow the Year 11 girls to excel in their studies. We<br />

have outstanding consultants who deliver the highest quality of teaching in the core<br />

subjects. This is then complimented by our own staff coming in to deliver essential<br />

revision sessions of the highest quality.<br />

With up to 100 girls attending, we are proud to say that our pupils feel the provision<br />

is effective for their needs. Our pupils say the Saturday school helps reduce their<br />

stress leading up to their exams in the summer.<br />
