So many highlights. Year 5’s first trip to Haetree, for many, their first trip away from family for three nights. Reports back throughout the week have been hugely positive. Pupils have worked well together and thrown themselves into all the activities. Thank you to the staff for providing such a great experience, it is not easy being away from home. Year 6 had such a great time celebrating the Holocaust Memorial Day and week of events. I am sure Mrs Holloway won’t forget her afternoon at Westminster and TV appearance! The Holocaust illustrates the dangers of prejudice, discrimination, antisemitism and dehumanization. Accelerated Reader has been a huge success, so many pupils talking about their word count, quiz results and star tests. Impressive work! Layla Andrews, in year 8, put together a great campaign for the Dorset Youth Parliament elections, collecting over 100 votes, a great effort. Developing leadership is an important part of pupil education at EMS. In the reception area you will see our new board that celebrates pupil leadership at all levels in school. Other enrichment opportunities this half-term included Time in a Bottle for year 7 pupils, delivered by the inexhaustible Paul Stevens.

  • 'Chesil Safe' – Drugs Awareness & Education We Are Writing to Make
    Dorset Council, Chesil Locality Team e: [email protected] t: 01305 762400 21 May 2021 Dear Parents and Carers RE: ‘Chesil Safe’ – Drugs Awareness & Education We are writing to make you aware of an upcoming Drug Awareness & Education programme in which each of the local secondary schools and Weymouth College will take part. Working in partnership with the Dorset Council Chesil Locality Team, our organisations are committed to providing education about the dangers of drug misuse and providing support to those affected. Teenage experimentation with a range of substances is nothing new. It is, however, incumbent upon us as the present educational leaders and local authority representatives to make sure that the current students in our area understand the short term and long term risks associated with drug misuse. It is our shared view that the problem of drug misuse is rarely confined to any one organisation or area but is a nationwide issue. In recent years, organised criminal gangs have increasingly targeted areas outside cities through a network of dealers and distributors in illegal operations commonly known as County Lines. This involves the targeting and grooming of children and young people who are entrapped to act as runners for gangs in return for cash, gifts and drugs. It can be incredibly difficult for those caught up to escape. You can find out more about County Lines by watching an informative BBC Documentary that can be accessed here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p05hktz9/britains-teenage-drug-runners As part of our educational programme ‘Chesil Safe,’ we have arranged a visit to each of our organisations from K9 Deployment, a company that specialises in the deployment of drugs search dogs.
