Dear Parents and Carers,

This week marks the end of the public examination period for our students. Yesterday, our Year 13 students sat their final examinations, bringing to a close months of hard work, commitment and determination. Both Year 11 and Year 13 students have approached this important period with maturity, resilience and focus, and they should be immensely proud of all they have achieved.

Last night, we were delighted to welcome students and families to our annual Presentation Evening, where we celebrated the achievements of our departing Year 11 and Year 13 students. It was a wonderful opportunity to recognise not only academic success but also the character, dedication and contribution that these young people have made to our school community. We wish them a well-deserved summer and look forward to welcoming them back in August to collect their examination results.

This week, I also had the privilege of meeting with students who have achieved the threshold for the Headteacher's Award. This prestigious recognition is reserved for those who have accumulated 3,000 points or more during the academic year. With each credit representing three positive points, these students have each made over 1,000 positive contributions worthy of recognition. Across a school year of around 170 days, this equates to an extraordinary level of consistency, effort and commitment to our values. Their achievement deserves special recognition, and it was a pleasure to congratulate them personally.

As the academic year draws towards its conclusion, we now look forward to our Year 11 and Year 13 Prom celebrations next week. These events provide a fitting opportunity for students to celebrate the end of their school journey with friends and staff and to reflect on the memories and experiences they have shared.

Ever wondered how Star of the Week works?

Staff award credits when students demonstrate one or more of our six ‘Be CHRIST’ values: Courage, Hard work, Reflection, Inspiration, Support and Tenacity.

Each credit is worth 3 points, and there’s no limit to how many a student can receive. Each week, every faculty runs a lottery-style draw to select their Faculty Star of the Week.

Winners receive £2.50 on their student account to treat themselves – and the more credits a student receives, the more likely they are to be selected.

Well done to this week’s winners!

Huge congratulations to the students pictured, who have all achieved the incredible feat of reaching 3,000 positive points already this academic year.

This means they have each received their Headteacher’s Award today from Mr Lane - a fantastic achievement and a real demonstration of our CHRIST values: being courageous, hardworking, reflective, inspirational, supportive and tenacious.

We are incredibly proud of them all. Well done!

A couple of weeks on, Issue 3 of Sapere Aude is still getting people talking.

Packed with powerful student writing on identity, inclusion, remembrance, culture, misogyny and debate, this is one of our most thought-provoking issues yet – and it’s designed to be read easily on your phone.

Dear Parents/Carers,

School has felt a little quieter this week with the absence of Year 10 students, who have been out on work experience placements. Thanks to the tremendous work of Mr Lewitt and the colleagues who have supported. We look forward to hearing about their experiences when they return next week and are grateful to the many local employers who continue to support our students in this valuable part of their education.

Whilst Year 10 have been away, the College has been buzzing with a different kind of energy as we welcomed hundreds of Year 5 pupils from local primary schools for our annual secondary school experience days. Across the week, children have sampled a wide range of subjects and activities, from bridge-building challenges in Product Design and blackout poetry in English, to probability in Maths, fieldwork in Geography, PE on the astro and field, and creative lessons in subjects such as Dance, Media and Computer Science.

These days are always among the highlights of the summer term. They give young people the chance to experience life at secondary school, meet new friends and staff, and begin to imagine themselves as part of our community. The enthusiasm, curiosity and confidence shown by the children has been wonderful to see, and the feedback from visiting schools has been overwhelmingly positive. My thanks go to Mrs Whitehill for leading such a successful programme, and to all colleagues who have contributed to making the week such an enjoyable and memorable experience.

Finally, next week sees the start of our summer term events programme. On Thursday we host our Year 11 and Year 13 Awards Evening, followed by College Fest on Friday. These events are always special occasions that celebrate the achievements, talents and spirit of our students, and we look forward to sharing them with families and the wider College community.

The final day of our Year 5 secondary school taster days arrived with the sunshine! What a great way to end the week.

We welcomed North Kilworth, Husbands Bosworth, Dunton Bassett, Gilmorton and Sherrier today.

There was more pizza-making, more Geography, more Science, RE, Media and Sociology – and finally, all the PE lessons this week could be on the Astro!

Thank you to all the schools who joined us. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

We didn’t let the rain dampen Day 4 of our Year 5 secondary school taster days.

We welcomed Blaby Stokes for the first time, and Badgerbrook came back again this year.

PE adapted brilliantly due to the weather, with students designing some great new kits and new sports, which they then presented to each other.

There was also Maths, Drama, History, RE, Product Design and even a chance for some of the children to have a go in our brand-new food rooms, where they made some tasty pizzas.

Final day tomorrow!

Today was Day 3 of our Year 5 secondary school taster days and, despite some rain, we didn’t let it ruin a great day.

Maths was on the timetable for everyone, with a focus on probability. Students also enjoyed a range of option subjects, including Geography, Media, Dance and Computer Science.

The children managed to get out on the Astro and field in between the showers as well for some PE.

Thank you to Bitteswell, Sapcote, Cosby and St Peter’s Whetstone for joining us today.

Day 2!

Grateful for the better weather today, especially as some of our Year 5s were walking up from Wycliffe to join us.

We were also pleased to welcome Manorfield and South Kilworth. Bridge-building antics in Product Design, blackout poetry in English and counting the traffic in Geography were just some of the lessons on offer today.
