May I start by saying that I have had a number of my colleagues come up to me to praise the calm, keen and sensible way that you have started the Sixth Form. Thank you, it is very encouraging.
A few things for this week please.
1.Please remember that you have form time today at 1.20. There is no assembly this week, but there are full formal assemblies for the following two Tuesdays.
2.Most of you will be getting your first proper homework this week. You need to take this very seriously – it is a big part of success in the Sixth Form. It will also quickly build, and a typical A Level student will be doing three to four hours homework every day. As such, you need;
- A proper routine.
- A filling system that you can keep on top of.
- To be doing no more than 8 hours paid work a week.
3. Many thanks to those of you who – in great numbers – have offered to help out on Open Evening. It is appreciated. It is not too late to volunteer if you fancy it. Just give your name to your mentor.
4. Enrichment – Finally, you may like to take note of the link to the BBC pages below if you want to develop your understanding of what is going on in Syria at the moment.
Have a good week,
Mr Kydd.
