Have a good Half Term

GCSE Mocks

Just to confirm that Yr11s will be on a suspended timetable from Thursday 13th - Friday 21st November inclusive. This means that they will only be in school for their exams during this period. The only exceptions to this are City College pupils who are expected to attend college on Wednesday 19th November as normal.

All pupils will get a letter home confirming these arrangements.

Parents Evening Tonight

Later school start time 'may boost GCSE results'

By Hannah Richardson

BBC News education reporter

Many parents struggle to get their children out of bed in the morning

University of Oxford researchers say teenagers start functioning properly two hours later than older adults.

A trial tracking nearly 32,000 GCSE pupils in more than 100 schools will assess whether a later school start leads to higher grades.

Improved mental health and wellbeing could also result, the scientists say.

“Start Quote

Professor of sleep medicine Colin Espie said: "Our grandparents always told us our sleep is incredibly important.

"We have always known that, but it's only recently that we've become engaged in the importance of sleep and circadian rhythm.

"We know that something funny happens when new teenagers start to be slightly out of sync with the rest of the world.

"Of course, your parents think that's probably because you're a little bit lazy and opinionated, if only you got to bed early at night, then you would be able to get up early in the morning.

"But science is telling us, in fact there are developmental changes during the teenage years, which lead to them actually not being as tired as we think they ought to be at normal bedtime and still sleepy in the morning.

"What we're doing in the study is exploring the possibility that if we actually delay the school start time until 10am, instead of 9am or earlier, that additional hour taken on a daily dose over the course of a year will actually improve learning, performance, attainment and in the end school leaving qualifications."

GCSE Results Day - 21st August 2014

I just want to clarify the procedure for the collection of GCSE results.

Year 11 students can collect their results from 10am on Thursday 21st August. If they are unable to attend, they can either supply a SAE to me and I will post their results home or they can write a letter giving permission for someone to collect on their behalf.

Thank you.

There are so many happy memories and some sad ones too

One things for certain I will never forget any of you

So here’s a little ode to remind you of the last five years

And to wish you all the best in your new chosen careers

In Year 7 you were very small and very tearful too

You stood there smart and silent – all shiny, bright and new

Brandyn Lee Murtagh was not quite so small

With his beautiful manners and oh so tall

You all made lots of lovely new friends

Some who you kept and some came to an end

You got lost in the corridors and worried about being late

Now most of year 11 are last in the gate

In Year 8 you were not the babies anymore

Pathways, options and GCSE’s were a chore

You raised lots of money for the shoebox appeal

Earning lots of gold e refs was such a big deal

There were so many opportunities for you all to take

Archery, football and Cross Country just so many choices to make

There is Sam Jenman with his football and Georgia Dalley with Blaze her horse

There is just so much talent in my year group – sadly, too many to mention of course

Year 9 we saw Cabaret with starts like Beth, Owen and Chloe to name but a few

Your confidence and talents just grew and grew

Missing tutor you know I would not tolerate

Jack Grace and Max Parker you were always so late

The Faith in Football Project, BBC School News report and lots more

There were so many opportunities for you at every door

Year 10 Mr Hastings was replaced by Mr D -which was ever so sad

Goodness, how many ADOPAs does that mean that I have had

Head girls and boys and prefects all so proud

Oli, Jess, Andy and Anya you always stood out from the crowd

Then there’s the college kids – every Thursday off they go

Set for life with a good start with all they know

We gained some pupils in our year group, and also lost some too

Hannah and Ash you returned from Auz - we really did miss you

Year 11 you all started to worry, as you could see the time fly

But remember anything is possible if you give it a try

Johnny Jones the Joker of the pack – who was not always caught

And George Cousins who was ever so charming to Pupil Support

You have challenged me, stressed me and crossed many lines

I have shouted and praised and lost my temper at times

You are a magnificent bunch who are now moving on

To enjoy College and Uni soon Wildern will be long gone

An inspirational and hardworking team - what more can I say

I never thought I would see this day

So good luck and farewell and live life to the full

Remember the best days of your life were at Wildern School
