As you will know, Year 11 GCSE exams are well underway. They had their leaver’s assembly yesterday with Mrs. Tibbetts, lots of emotion as one would expect. It is a time to reflect and appreciate how wonderful school time has been for so many students. My sincere thanks to the Year 11 Student Leadership Team – Head Girl and Head Boy, all Prefects for their time and involvement in growing community stronger. You have all been exemplary in your roles and I will personally miss seeing you around. I wish you all the Year 11 students every success with your future endeavours. End of Year assembly means that Year 11 will now come in only to take exams and are free to leave afterwards. It is a demanding few weeks for most, and we wish every single student best wishes. Just a reminder there is a wealth of rich resources from Action Your Potential programme, please use your Bromcom login to access these. As Year 11 finish their exams, Year 10 prepare to take the baton. We will be selecting our new Student Leaders in the new half term.
This half-term we are saying farewell to three members of staff - Mrs Nicolychuk, our amazing Teacher Assistant is returning back to Canada with her family this half-term. Thank you for your hard work, Mrs Nicolychuk. Miss Quinn will start her maternity leave from now. We wish her well and will see her on her return next academic year. Many families will know Mr Carter; he has been a member of the community since 2009. We wish him well as he leaves the Bourne to continue as a Computer Science teacher at another school. I hope you will join me in thanking all colleagues for their support for our children and wish them well.
On our return in June, the first week is ‘activities week’; it’s finally here! A lot of planning and preparation has gone into this week. I wish all students and teachers a truly memorable time, let’s make long term happy memories together.
Year 10s Conduct Infiltration Survey to Enhance Flood Resilience
Students from Year 10 have recently completed an infiltration survey aimed at assessing the rate at which water penetrates various surface types. The survey focused on both impermeable and permeable surfaces, providing valuable insights into how these surfaces could affect the school's flood protection measures in the future. By looking at how well different surfaces absorbed water, students have found ways to help the school better prepare for floods.
