Headteacher blog:
Year 11 and Year 13 students are continuing to show great resilience, ambition and determination in approaching their examinations.
We are pleased to see that Year 10 and Year 12 students are following their lead and have adopted comprehensive revision for their Year 10 examinations. If you feel your son or daughter needs more support with revision, please speak to their form tutors and encourage your son or daughter to access GCSEpod. The school has purchased access for all students in the school. Together, students have streamed over 129,000 pods.
As we approach the end of the year, many students have attained their Bronze, Silver, Gold and even Platinum Credit Badges. I would like to offer my personal congratulations to these students and thank them for their hard work and commitment to the school.
On Thursday and Friday of this week, staff from across the school collaborated to develop the School Improvement Strategy for 2018 – 2019. We are looking forward to building on work already started to ensure we offer the highest quality education to your daughters and sons.
As you may be aware, I will be out of school for the remainder of the academic school year, as I will be having an operation on my leg. During this time, Mr Brunt will be Acting Headteacher and Mrs Maingay will be Deputy Headteacher. I wish the staff and students a productive and enjoyable half term.

Maths GCSE Revision
Well done to everyone on all their efforts so far.
To help with your preparation for paper 3 here is a link to a website with revision lists, demonstration videos and practice papers. These papers and revision checklists are based on the topics that either haven’t appeared or usually have a higher profile. As there are 3 papers, it is likely that topics from paper 1 or 2 may appear again, so definitely make sure you revise everything.

U15 Cricket County Cup
On Tuesday Thomas Alleyne’s played Erasmus Darwin at Uttoxeter Cricket Club. Erasmus Darwin won the toss and batted- Harvey Belcher and Frankie Bussell removed the openers with the score on just 9. Darwin’s number 3 batted well and scored a well crafted 29 but there was a flock of ducks that followed. Gregor Hayes produced a magical over taking 4 wickets including a brilliant caught and bowled. Lewie Thornton bowling for the first time this year took the final 2 wickets with off stump yorkers.
Set Just 49 to win- skipper Alex Ford reversed the batting order and despite a couple of early wickets, Alleyne’s reached the target off just 9 overs with Owen Carrington top scorer with 9.
The next round is a home game against Stone Alleyne’s on Thursday 14th June 2pm start.
