Dear Parents/Carer Grey Court Grey Court Grey Court Grey Court ––––the next 5 yearsthe next 5 yearsthe next 5 yearsthe next 5 years

I spent last weekend with my senior leadership team. We analysed where we are now as a school and our plans for the next 5 years. It was reaffirming but also challenging as we worked hard to thrash out the critical success factors that will enable us to provide an outstanding experience for our students and staff. The next stage in our consultation plans are to ask all members of our community their views on the future of the school. I would like to thank them for giving up their time. Their dedication and commitment to our young people is incredible.

Year 11Year 11Year 11Year 11 The passport to success starts on Monday and all students have been provided with all the dates and times for exam and revision sessions. We will continue to monitor their progress carefully and provide all the support they require until the end of the exam season. Our Record of Achieve-ment ceremony is on Friday June 2nd 2012. There will be no study leave.

Learning & Teaching Update Learning & Teaching Update Learning & Teaching Update Learning & Teaching Update ---- The Importance of being at SchoolThe Importance of being at SchoolThe Importance of being at SchoolThe Importance of being at School Research has shown that for every year of school, life expectancy in adulthood increases by 1.7 years!

With the exam season about to get into full swing, attendance and punctuality to school are a MUST, not just for Year 10 & 11 but for every student. Your teachers are your best resource and Year 11 are about to embark on their Passport to Success—a bespoke package of structured revision classes, fitted around their GCSE Exams in order to prepare them even fur-ther for the real thing.

When students are absent from school, they miss opportunities with skilled and highly passionate experts in their subject and there is often a lag whilst students catch up on any work missed. This can be extremely worrying and frustrating for the student creating even more anxiety that can hinder progress.

Our school target for attendance is 96% and National Research shows that when students fall below 94%, this has a detrimental affect on attainment.

subjects as possible!

Thursday saw the launch of the Passport to Success with students receiving their personalised timeta-bles. Students should follow this timetable for the duration of the examination period. You can also find an overview of the Passport timetable on the School Website. This is a general timetable that shows the extra provision we are offering in the exam period. The provision will consist of extra revi-sion sessions put on especially before all major exams. There will also be breakfast sessions provided before all morning exams which will run from 8.00am - 8.30am. For the initial two weeks your child will be expected in school attending normal lessons or specific revision sessions. As the exam period progresses the amount of time spent in school will reduce. This will be clearly shown in your child's personalised timetable. The Passport to Success will begin on the 14th May and run for the 5 weeks of the exam period. If you have any questions then please contact me on aburton@greycourt.org.uk I am aware that this can be a very stressful time for students and parents alike. Please contact me if you feel we can help in any way, such as helping to deal with stress or ways on how to revise for exams. We have specialist staff who can deal with exam issues or having someone just to talk to can also be a help. The Head Prefects will be contacting you shortly about arrangements for the Prom on the 28th June. I hope you have all got your ball gowns and suits ready!!

Mr. BurtonMr. BurtonMr. BurtonMr. Burton Head of Year 11Head of Year 11Head of Year 11Head of Year 11

Next week will see the unveiling of the new Grey Court Prefects. This year the current prefects will hand over to the new ones in a special assembly on Tuesday. We are always looking to raise the pro-file of the prefects and so this year we will be introducing a new garment to make the prefects readily identifiable - but this will remain a secret for the time being!!! The Year 10 Parents Evening will take place on Thursday 31st May from 4.30 - 7.00pm. Your child will shortly receive a appointment sheet and they will be required to obtain appointments from all of their teachers. This is a very important Parents Evening as it will be an opportunity for you to discuss your child's progress in their GCSEs. It is imperative that any problems or issues are sorted out before the students enter Year 11 and this evening is a fantastic opportunity to set out clear targets. i look forward to seeing you all there.

through. Stir occasionally.

If you'd prefer a sweeter curry, add a little more sugar. If too salty, add

a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. If too spicy, add more coconut milk. Note

that this curry should be a balance of salty, spicy, sweet and sour, plus

bitter.
