  • Last nights Year 11 Success Fayre

    Published 19/10/23

    It was fantastic to see so many parents and students at last nights Year 11 Success Fayre.

    The evening started with a presentation from Mrs Eulert and Mr Allen outlining the key dates for the year and the countdown to the Summer Examination 2024.

    All students collected a 'goody bag' of chocolate, important dates, mock exam timetable, how to access exam boards information and revision resources including pads, pens and highlighters to help during mock examination preparation. 

    As part of the Fayre parents and students circulated the room to collect summary specifications and revision packs from each subject area.

    Also during the evening, there was an opportunity to talk to Nelson and Colne College, Burnley College and Training 2000.

    This morning, all parents have been emailed the presentation, instructions for ordering Revision Guides and the important dates document.

  • Physical Education Curriculum Related Expectations

    Published 18/10/23

    In Physical Education this week students have been focussing on their end of term assessment. Year 8 have focussed on the Curriculum Related Expectation  - Use of skills and techniques when using a ball to throw, catch, pass, shoot or bounce. Students have used our assessment grids to evaluate their skills and make judgements on the progress made this half term.  They have then used this knowledge to give feedback and advice to others in the class.

    Year 8 have been superb during basketball lessons this half-term and can now look forward to badminton and rugby after half-term.
