GCSE CONTROLLED ASSESSMENT

All Year 11 students should now be completing their coursework under the new controlled conditions. This contributes 25% to their final grade.

The new arrangements require students to plan their work thoroughly before completion, a gentle reminder from parents / carers about progress in this area would be welcomed!

Did you know?       

In the reign of Henry VIII, the Bishop of Rochester upset his cook one day. So the cook got his revenge by putting a special herb in the bishop's feast that night.

The herb was supposed to give the guests diarrhoea. Unfortunately, two of the guests got diarrhoea till they died. The cook was sent to be hanged for murder. But King Henry VIII said, 'No! hanging is too kind for that villain! I want him boiled alive in his own pot!' And that's what they did. For five years, the punishment for poisoners was to be boiled alive. What a Horribly Hot Happening!.

Open Evening

A fantastic evening was had by all as parents, carers and students enjoyed the 100^th anniversary of the Titanic.

 A huge thank you to staff who dressed up for the event….
