Dear Parent/Carer

We have had a wonderful week of football! Three of our six teams reached the final of the Suffolk Cup. Year 7 played last week and narrowly lost – Year 8 and 10 both played on Wednesday. Year 8 were 1-0 down 10 minutes from the end and then Josh Smedley scored two goals to ensure the team won. The Year 10 team won 3-0 and included Ellis Murrell scoring “the best goal I have ever seen in school football” – quote from Mr Tunaley who re-enacted it in the staff briefing for us all! Well done to all the teams.

Our students have had some great opportunities with trips recently. The French and German exchanges have been very successful. My thanks go to Mrs Green, Mr Hall and Mr Craig for their work to coordinate them. The D of E groups were very active with silver and gold both on trips in April and 100 Bronze students practising last and this weekend. Huge thanks go to Mr Colin Shaw who coordinates this, as well as accompanying the trips alongside Mr Barrie, Mr Sperling, Mr Mackenzie, Ms Magnall, Mr Dadge, Mrs Laird, Mr Bradley, Mr Moore and Miss Thraves.

We've also held all six study revision days for year 11 with 95% of them taking up this opportunity. They are incredibly beneficial with the students completing 10 hours of revision in one day. Miss Gilmour and I love leading them and it was once again a pleasure to see the students so motivated and keen to do well. The two year 9 Mock Trial teams were brilliant at the Suffolk heat on March 21st, coming first and second. Both teams had worked so hard and should be very proud of all they achieved. The green team now compete in the regional heat in Stratford, London on May 9th.

The Choral Concerts before Easter were stunning. As always, it was great to see children from the age of six singing with those of 18! Hundreds of children were involved and I'd like to thank all our music staff and those of the primary schools who do so much work to make them so successful. I’d like to thank Mrs Phillips in particular who coordinates them so well.

Our Young Enterprise group won an award for ‘Communications’ at the Suffolk finals last night – thoroughly deserved after their creative selling ideas this year. Many thanks to Mr Howlett for his work with them.

At the end of last term we sadly said goodbye to Mr Etchingham who was with us as Head of English for four years and has been promoted to Assistant Headteacher at ; Mrs Cochrane, Maths one-to-one tutor left us after four years; Mr Figueire our ICT Technician left us after one year; and Mr van Keulen (who is a visiting teacher/LSA from New Zealand) left after two terms. Also, Mrs Miles who is currently on maternity leave will not be returning to school at the end of her maternity leave. All of them gave excellent service to the school; they will all be missed and we wish them luck for the future. Congratulations to Mrs Cornell who had a baby daughter, Edith, on 16th March, Mrs Broome who had a baby son, George, on 11th April and Mr and Mrs Smith who had a baby son, Teddy, last week.

On 9th May we have a great “Glitz and Groove” dance night. Tickets are just £10. You can book a table for between 6 and 12 people. Bring your own supper and then dance the night away to Mr Piddington’s band who are brilliant. We have a reasonably priced bar and it should make for a great fun night without all the expense of a ball!

On a personal note, thank you so much to everyone who responded to my emailed letter to ask for sponsorship in the London Marathon. It is this weekend and I am very twitchy about it! I am running for RNIB and even though you will read this after the event, I would be hugely grateful for any further sponsorship.
