TCUP / Moss Assembly


The England TCUP routine watch Martin Johnson call it before the drop goal he is number 4 and just falls over with the ball to set up the drop goal.  TCUP (Thinking Clearly Under Pressure) The more you practice the easy things are when you have to perform.


The Julie Moss Clip think about what state you will be in when you finish your exams?  How prepared will you be? What can you do to make things better in the summer?



You have lots of pressures on you this year but it doesn't compare to the pressure of catching this baby.  If you need help ask a member of staff today.

People all over Australia have been paying tribute to the cricketer Phillip Hughes by putting their cricket bats outside their homes.
Many of them posted a picture of their bats on social media under the hastag PutOutYourBats, and the idea has caught on around the world.
The 25-year-old died on Thursday - two days after being struck on the neck during a domestic match in Australia.

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.

Later school start time 'may boost GCSE results'

By Hannah Richardson


Sleepy teenagerMany 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."

Seminar Day

What three things have you picked up from today?

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.

Leavers Poem 2014

Year 11  I am standing here and can’t believe how the time has flown
So proud, happy and emotional to see how you have all grown


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
