We’re delighted to see so many of our Year 11 students attending the 8:00 am pre-exam breakfast sessions. These provide not only a tasty and energising breakfast but also a calm space to relax, connect with friends, and receive any last-minute support from staff before heading into the exam room. If your child has a morning exam, please do encourage them to attend.
Our exam invigilators have shared how impressed they are with the excellent behaviour and positive attitude of our students during the exam period. They’ve also complimented how well organised the arrangements are - one even remarked that they wish all students had been like this when they were at school! Go Carisbrooke!
A big thank you to our Maths staff and Year 11 students who stayed after school for an extra hour of revision on Wednesday. We know how valuable this time is, and we’re proud of everyone who is going the extra mile to secure the best GCSE outcomes possible. We will also be running two Maths revision sessions during the half term break - details to follow shortly.
Another fantastic fundraiser took place this week for the Year 11 Prom. The inter-tutor group football competition was a huge success, raising over £100! Thank you to all the students who took part, and a special shout out to Mrs Dewey, Mr Phillips, and Mr Fleming for helping to run the event and showcasing some excellent refereeing skills.
Our final Bikeability session for Year 7 has now taken place, and we’re thrilled to report how well the students represented the school. The organisers praised their maturity and positive attitude throughout this valuable extra-curricular opportunity. Well done to all involved and a big thank you to Mrs Lythgoe for leading the programme with such care.
Looking ahead to next week, we have a vocal workshop as part of the One Day Will Come SCMP project. This will help prepare our school singers for their performance at the summer concert at Carisbrooke Castle. It is a fantastic opportunity for our musically talented students, and we are grateful to Mrs Peckham for organising it.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
