Are we doing enough? Could we do more? - Bott & Co, Solicitors 3 Important Notices for parents of Year 11 students Below are some important messages for our Year 11 students as they prepare for their examinations. These will also be included in a letter home to Year 11 parents next week. Study Leave A reminder to all our parents that timetabled lessons covering exam content and exam preparation sessions will be continuing until Thursday 26th May. This is because the longer that students are in school the more likely they are to perform well in their exams. After the Whit holiday, there will be a blend of exam preparation activities, support sessions and independent home study. It is important that each student plans carefully with their teachers the right programme for them. This will vary from student to student. We will give your son or daughter clear guidance on the programme of lessons, exam preparation and independent home study that they should be following in order to achieve most highly. Is your child struggling to revise effectively? There will be a ‘how to revise’ session on Monday 15th May at 3.20 in Room 116. We would advise this for ANY student who feels that they could revise more effectively From the English team: English GCSE Preparation As Year 11 students begin their final preparations, we would like to draw your attention to some important dates and information leading up to students’ English GCSE examinations. There will be final exam walk-through sessions, with class teachers, on the dates and times listed below. Unless students are advised otherwise, these sessions will take place in students’ usual English rooms. These are vital sessions in order for students to remind themselves of the specific requirements for each question in both the Language and Literature examinations: Thursday 18th May: Periods 5 & 6 Thursday 25th May: Periods 3 & 4 Monday 5th June: 11.15am - 12.45pm Thursday 8th June: Periods 5 & 6 4 A reminder that revision resources can be found on Firefly at the following links: English Language http://wilmslowhigh.fireflycloud.net/english-1 English Literature http://wilmslowhigh.fireflycloud.net/english-literature English clinic will be running in the LRC on Tuesdays from 3:20 – 4:00pm and the ‘Quotes by Rote’ session will also be held at this time in room 35. These sessions are open to all students, and we advise our students to take every opportunity to work with us in the final run up to the examinations From the Maths team: In Maths, practice, practice, practice makes all the difference. The Maths team are asking both Foundation and Higher students to undertake 15 practice tests which have been given out by class teachers and are available on Firefly for students to download and print should they want to have another go. These tests are a vital tool for students’ preparation for their exams as they will allow students to address any gaps in their knowledge before their exams. These papers have been shared with every student. If they go onto the “tasks” section on firefly it will be there Exam technique is also crucial. Students getting their timing of questions right is an important part of effective exam technique so we are recommending that all of our students ensure that they have a watch (NOT a smart watch) that they are getting into the habit of using in exam practice now so that they are well prepared.

  • High Notes Summer Highlights
    WILMSLOW HIGH SCHOOL The pursuit of excellence for every student, every day SUMMER 2019 ISSUE Autumn 2018 Issue HIGH NOTES SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS A summary of our weekly newsletter 'High Notes' for the months of May to July HIGH NOTES SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS elcome to this third issue of High Notes Highlights, a snapshot of students' participation and Wperformances in a wide range of activities and events over the past term. Students' engagement in our Whole Curriculum was one of a number of strengths highlighted in the recent Ofsted inspection: "Pupils have opportunities to participate in a range of extra-curricular activities to develop their sporting, artistic and musical skills. The ‘wider curriculum’ offer fulfills its aims of developing the whole child. Other activities for pupils ensure that they develop a sense of responsibility towards their community and society. The school’s vision to be at the ‘heart of the community’ is fulfilled well through extensive partnership work." We believe that the importance of a strong Whole Curriculum lies in its ability to broaden and strengthen the minds of our young people. We hope that our engaging and rich curriculum will fully equip all of our students with the knowledge, skills and qualities that they will need, in order to flourish in the modern world, as resilient, thoughtful and contributing citizens of the future. This year's 39 issues of High Notes detail just how many enriching opportunities are available to every student, every day; our challenge as teachers is to ensure that every student makes the very most of their Wilmslow experience, on their journey to becoming well-rounded, young people of character.

  • Headteacher Candidate Information Hjhjhjh January 2015
    Headteacher Candidate information hjhjhjh January 2015 Dear Applicant, Thank you for the interest you have shown in becoming Headteacher of our school. This is an exceptional opportunity to lead Wilmslow High School through the next stage of its evolution and I do hope that this Information Pack and the school website give you a deep understanding of our ethos, culture and vision. Wilmslow High School is a community school that enjoys an excellent working relationship with the Local Authority and we have taken a very deliberate decision not to convert to an Academy at this time; however we keep this decision under regular review. The current school population of 2017 students including 488 in the Sixth Form, is expected to grow substantially over the coming years as a result of the pending local plan that includes proposals for significant housing development coupled with the current expansion of some feeder primaries. New build accommodation will be required very soon. In common with many other schools in many other authorities we have a major concern about the progress of our pupil premium students and are working hard to ‘close the gap’ whilst at the same time further improving outcomes for all students. School sport is an important part of school life at Wilmslow as is an extensive programme of ‘Extra’ activities before and after school. Our students undertake many school visits at home and abroad each year and you will be a keen supporter of these programmes. We are looking for a strong and inspirational leader to build rapidly on the achievements of our highly respected former Head who we were very sorry to lose.
