A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who attended our EWA Opening Evening on Wednesday. What a fantastic success it was! 💙

🕊️ Inter-faith Reflection

This week, pupils learned about Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement and one of the holiest days in Judaism.

They reflected on the importance of recognising our mistakes, asking for forgiveness and considering how we can become better people. Pupils also explored how kindness, listening to others and forgiving someone can help create a more peaceful school and wider community.

🎶 Music is alive and buzzing in the department! 🎶

This evening, the department has been filled with the wonderful sounds of choir rehearsals, students practising, and friends making music together. 💙

Every Thursday, we ‘Open the Studio’, giving students the opportunity to come along, make use of our fantastic facilities, and practise either independently or with friends.

Our choir also rehearses every Thursday, and new members are always very welcome! 🎤✨

If you’d like to find out more about our music enrichment opportunities, please speak to Miss Read or Mrs Davenport-Farrow.

We love seeing our students making music, building confidence and enjoying everything our department has to offer! 🎵

🌟 PD Stars of the Week 

This week, pupils have been developing their financial literacy and learning more about the world of work.

They have learned how to read and interpret a wage slip and identify deductions, including tax and pension contributions. These important life skills will help pupils understand their future earnings, employment and financial responsibilities as they prepare for life beyond school.

Fantastic work, 9WPS3!

💡 Word to the Wise

This week’s message is: “A want can feel urgent, but it is not always a need.”

This links to what pupils are learning in PSHCE about needs and wants, saving and making responsible financial decisions. Pausing before buying something can help us protect our savings and make choices based on our priorities rather than pressure.
Would you still want it tomorrow?
