We’ve had a blast of wintery weather this week but, thankfully, no disruption to learning at Boroughbridge High School in what has been a significant week for students in Years 10 and 11, who have started their Progress Exams (mocks)! They’ve made a positive start and have been well prepared with our Revision programme starting some time ago including in form time, during lessons and at home with their own revision timetable. We wish them well as they move into the second week.
In assemblies this week, Mr. Grierson has looked at our core value of resilience. Year 10 and 11 focused on how they can stay resilient during their Progress Exams. With Key Stage 3, Mr Grierson celebrated the resilience of the Scotland football team who qualified for their first world cup after 28 years!
It was great to welcome parents, carers and students to the Careers Information on Thursday. It was lovely to see that so much careful thought is going into possible futures. Mrs. Mannion, our Careers Adviser, supported this process by outlining very clearly the possible post-16 choices whilst Mrs. Town talked more generally about the Careers support that our young people receive.
Our final Children in Need fundraising total was £472.02. Thank you for your generous donations.
We have a couple of events coming up next week. On Wednesday 26th November, we have our Professional Development Day when students do not attend school. Then, on Thursday 27th November, you are warmly invited to the Wellbeing Fair at our federated partner, King James’s School in Knaresborough.
Have a lovely weekend!
