2010 / 2011 No 13 June 2011 Memories of Year 13’s Celebration Day Dear Parents, Students, Staff and Governor colleagues The exam season is well underway and I want to congratulate all the students who have taken exams so far. Their commitment to their studies, and their behaviour in exams, has been exemplary. This is the case, from Year 10’s (taking their GCSE units for the very first time) to Year 13’s who are veterans of taking exams in this school. We wish all our students taking external exams every success and wish all those students who still have exams to take—all the very best. If you require any information about the exam timetable or the examinations rules and regulations, then please access the information on the school’s website. I am most grateful to the staff at the school who have given up lots of their time to ensure that students are well prepared for their exams. This will continue right up until the end of the very last exam. I would like to wish a warm welcome to my new PA, Mrs Mary Johnson- Evans who joined the school on 6th June. We wish her every success in her new role. I am very pleased to be able to report individual success stories for students. As you can see from the newsletter, we have a budding golfer, we have Scott Chapman in Year 8 who has won a national prize for his entrepreneurship for the second year in a row, and we have two Year 12 students who have won prizes at Young Enterprise. It’s so good to hear of individual and team success stories—please do inform me at the school if your child is involved in an activity outside of school that we are not aware of - we do like to celebrate with them and share all the rich variety of activities and achievements made by our students at Woodlands School. The premises development is continuing apace at the school. We are beginning to get an idea of the new facilities that we are all going to enjoy from September. I’m sure that over the next few weeks we will begin to see the transformation that this will bring about. Just advance warning that the main hall kitchens will be temporarily closed. The last day of operations will be Wednesday 29th June. From that time, all catering operations will return to the Sixth Form where the food that we have on offer will be available. From 30th June to the end of term on 22nd July, we will be offering a very limited service from the Catering Academy. Further details will be announced nearer the time, and we will keep you posted. We are very excited about the benefits that these new services will bring us, and can only apologise for the inconvenience caused in the interim. As we have almost reached the end of the year for Year 11 students, I would like to urge parents of Year 11 to donate to the school any items of school uniform that are no longer required (both recently purchased items or any items that have been tucked away in drawers). We can certainly find a good home for them. If you have any unwanted school blazers, school ties, PE kit or any other items that are in good condition, we would really appreciate any donations. Please can you bring any items to the school office in a bag marked “for the attention of Mr Brady”. This would be very much appreciated. The next newsletter will be published on Friday 1st July. Yours sincerely … and just a few Alan Brady more...

Mr Smith and Mrs Brailsford Page 4 of 12 - No. 13, 2010-2011 Well done everyone on the hard work and effort that is going on in school right now in preparation for Year 10 and Year 11 GCSE examinations and Key Stage 3 controlled assessments and end of year tests. Phew – I am rather glad it is not me! Keep up the high standards everyone and enjoy the rest when they are all over. I am delighted to announce that 7R2 and 10R2 are the proud winners of the last two Thinker’s Keys. My thanks go to Miss Elson and Mr Stanmore for guiding their students to success. I am also told that there is a battle between the tutor groups so I can’t wait for the next competition coming up at the end of term! I would also like to share my thanks to 7R1 and Dr. Smith for their effort in raising £34 by selling cakes for the very worthwhile charity – LEPRA. Well done everyone – I am very proud of you all! Finally – keep working hard everyone for your next badge award. We have six weeks left to collect house points and I will be awarding the best tutor group with a prize. Please make sure you are all having your house points recorded – every single point counts!!
