Unlocking potential .Changing lives Principals News

I knew this was going to be a

bonkers week and I wasnt

wrong!

It was great to see all of our

new Year 7 learners and their

parents/carers on Wednesday

evening we had a fantastic

turn out and some lovely

feedback.

Our Darton Voice learners who

stayed to show parents/carers

a r o u n d w e r e h i g h l y

commended and were a

credit to the school. Do check

out their new blog!

I also got the opportunity to

visit Mapplewell Primary School

this week which was fantastic!

I t w a s g r e a t t o s e e t h e

w o n d e r f u l l e a r n i n g

environments and focused

learning in all classrooms.

On Thursday I spent the day in

Cleethorpes delivering two

workshops at their Teaching

and Learning Festival, it was

great to catch up and listen to

some fantastic speakers and

friends.

The Year 11 GCSE exams have

almost come to a close with the

two final exams taking place

next week.

Year 10 learners have now

c o m m e n c e d t h e i r m o c k

these will continue until 26th

To round off what has been a

busy week I have Alton Towers

Have a lovely weekend!

Nurture

Amazing art work from Sophie Devonport (10YN) - exemplary work!

All Year 9 learners were praised by the Nursing Team for their maturity and

attitude shown during their vaccinations this week .

Great work this week from Darton Voice learners which resulted in a

questionnaire to gather the views of all learners on catering at the college.

Several learners from our Year 8 and 9 Nurture class visited Moto

Services on the M1 to raise funds for Help for Heros. This good deed

was done in return for the money they received as funding from Moto

Services to enable them to build a sensory garden.
