5 October 2017 Dear Parent Year 11 GCSE Revision and Post 16 5 October 2017 Dear Parent Year 11 GCSE Revision and Post 16 Pathway Evening I am writing to invite you to an essential evening coming up for Year 11 parents on Tuesday 17th October. The evening will be separated into three key sections, firstly a workshop to demonstrate practical strategies for you and your youngster to support revision at home, secondly a presentation by Jacqui Kinch (LA Senior School Improvement Officer 14-19) which will give guidance about the future pathway options for your youngster and finally a wide range of local Post 16 providers will be there for you to talk to; many of these providers will accept applications on this evening. The evening will start at 6pm and finish at 8pm, you will be given times to attend workshops/presentations when you arrive on the evening. We will also have information ready for you from faculties about the topics/skills that your youngster will need to revise, the exam boards for all courses and top strategies from each department area. If your youngster ordered exam revision guides, these will be ready for you to collect and we will be selling ready-made packs of revision stationery for £1. For your information, I have attached to this letter a copy of when all the local open evenings are across the city and a revision timetable for you to use at home. This evening is purposely timed to give yourselves and your youngsters the information and guidance they need in order to prepare for both their GCSEs next summer and for the upcoming trial examinations in November. There is also a Yr 11 Form Tutor Evening on Wednesday 1st November and the first of two Year 11 Subject Evenings on Thursday 11th January (trial examination results will also be issued at this meeting). Long Eaton School Post 16 Provision As you will be aware, we are now members of The Northworthy Trust along with The Long Eaton School. They have outstanding Sixth Form facilities and have had an excellent set of examination results again this summer in A Level and equivalent Level 3 qualifications. If we have enough students who wish to go from Lees Brook to Long Eaton School for their post 16 studies, and from Long Eaton to our Skills Academy, we will be able to put transport on between the sites. There is an Open Evening at the Sixth Form next Tuesday 10th October if you would like to go and have a look around. For any students who are interested there will also be taster days available to attend in November. As we are part of a Trust, if any Lees Brook student applies to Long Eaton Sixth Form, they will be guaranteed a place as long as they achieve the required entry grades for their chosen course and receive a recommendation from Lees Brook School. The same offer is being made to Long Eaton students who are considering applying to our Skills Academy, and we believe that the combination of these two different post- 16 offers provides a range of options that will meet the needs of a very large proportion of the Year 11 students in our Trust. If you require further information, their website address is www.longeaton.derbyshire.sch.uk. On the site you will find lots of useful information about the school and in particular, a link to the 16+ magazine and handbook. If you would like to attend the Yr 11 GCSE Revision and Post 16 Pathway Evening on Tuesday 17th October, please complete the reply slip below and return it to student services by Wednesday 11th October. This event will be an exciting and informative evening and we look forward to seeing you there.

  • Jubilee 1960
    LONG EATON GRAMMAR SCHOOL JUBILEE BOOK 1960 An Account of the Origin of the School and its First fifty Years in the Tamworth Road Buildings FOREWORD " Derby, Leicester and Notts are we, Boys and girls of counties three, Here as scholars of the school, We're one folk and obey the rule." So wrote the first Headmaster of Long Eaton Grammar School in 1912 in the first School Magazine, then called the Annual. Since those early days many hundreds of pupils, coming from homes in the valleys of " Derwent, Trent and Soar," have studied together, and in their individual ways built up the traditions we inherit. We who follow feel it a privilege to review past days in this jubilee Year. We are, therefore, indebted to Mr. R. Hough for his writing this short history of the first fifty years. I wish to place on record the School's thanks, and also to express our appreciation of the work done by Miss Brooks. Our official sources of information have been the Sadler Report 1905, the County and Divisional Executive Records, the Minutes of Governors' Meetings, and the School Log-book kept by Mr. Clegg. Facts so recorded have been enlivened by reports in the Gossamer and the recollections of many past and present members of staff and former pupils. We must especially thank Canon J. D. Hooley for the lively account, incorporated in the text, of the 1914-18 period. Mr. Roberts, Mr. Pritchard, Mr. Wright, Miss Taylor and Mr. Calton have kindly read the proofs and made valuable suggestions, while Mr.

  • View This Email in Your Browser I Am Delighted To
    Here is the latest news from Derby College Group (DCG) View this email in your browser I am delighted to welcome you to the new academic year at Derby College Group. It has been a busy summer at Derby College Group enrolling new students online and preparing for the new academic year ahead. As the new academic year begins, I thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to move fluidly, and adapt to constantly changing circumstances, government guidance and scientific advice. These first weeks of term are classed as an induction period for students. Your child will have received an introduction to their study programme, been given access to an online student handbook, their own Derby College email address and access to our online learning space, Moodle. They will also have been allocated a personal coach who will work with them throughout their time at College and help ensure they achieve a positive destination after their study programme. I am as frustrated as many of you will be, about the impact that some of the COVID avoidance requirements are having on our students however, my main concern must remain the health of our students and mitigating the risk of further disruption to our students’ education. To this end, some difficult decisions have had to be made; I am personally responsible for imposing the strict bubbling system, which reflects the SAGE advice on segmenting, which states that ‘segmenting of student/staff populations (e.g. by course, year group, site, etc) should be designed to support easier detection of linked cases and, if necessary, enable more targeted closure / quarantine.
