The musings of a West London Headteacher

repetitio est mater studiorum - repetition is the mother of study


Firstly, I would like to congratulate our Sixth Formers who have finally completed their exams, especially our Year 13 students whose time at the Academy has come to an end. These students were the Academy’s first cohort and have done us very proud with the work they have put in over the last two academic years. We wish them well for the future and look forward to seeing them at the upcoming leavers’ prom.

Whilst exams have finished for Sixth Form, they are beginning for Years 7 and 8 with end of year exams taking place between Monday 1st July and Friday 12th July. It is imperative students adequately prepare for these exams as the results will be reported as the Module 9 grade on their final modular report. Revision tips have additionally been sent out to help students prepare for these exams, which will also help ready them for the GCSE and A Level exams they are to face in the future.

Ahead of the next academic year, our Parent and Community Advisory Group (PCAG) is to be re-launched. The PCAG will work alongside representatives of the local and wider community to assist myself, the Senior Leadership Team and the Governing Body in its work. Information has been sent out to all parents detailing the nomination process and the deadline date of Friday 28th June.

Finally, our KS3 Athletics Team recently competed in the Regional Finals of the English Schools’ Athletic Association Track & Field Cup. Unfortunately, students were unable to follow-up their win in the opening round and placed sixth amongst schools from across the South East despite a number of personal bests being set.  Their achievements must be applauded and their progress in the competition bodes very well for the future.
