Dear Parents and students      

Thank you for your support of all of us - students and staff – here in school this week. Students had earned 1402 Excellent Effort Points by 11.20am this morning.

Sports’ Day was such fun yesterday, and it was a pleasure to see so very many students participating with family members cheering them on. Once again, Rother and Ms Meurice savoured victory!

Once again, I have been touched by the many words of thanks received by teachers from students and their parents as they finish their Public Examinations. Of course, we have already welcomed back so many of our Year 11 students as incoming Year 12s to Sixth Form Induction. On Tuesday, they took a break from lessons and visited Wingham Wildlife Park for the day with Mr Travers and Ms Dunn. This was a special day as we start out on our journey with Team 2027.

Years 10 and 12 students have now completed their Pre-public Examinations, where teachers do not provide support and many of them have now received their results. These students carry our hopes for next year, and we have been really impressed by their resolve and just how quickly they have picked up on the Examination arrangements. Of course, we do not just prepare students for Public Examinations. We are committed to the well-being and welfare of all our students from Years 7 – 13 and our Family Friday Tutor time this morning gave attention to this. Family Friday - Brockhill wellness month competition June 2025

The week has also been truly enjoyable. Last Friday evening I had the pleasure of attending our summer Music Show. More than 20 pieces from a wide range of genres were played or sung, and the standards reached by all involved were fabulous. My thanks to parents, as well as the wonderful staff for all their support and encouragement of the students.

On Saturday, Mr Haisell led our students in an early celebration of Armed Forces Day at Oaklands in Hythe, where students sang and performed poetry. On Tuesday, students attended the unveiling of the Saltwood Community Orchard at Eaton Lands, for which they had chosen trees for planting and taken a role in the design. Also on Tuesday, 22 students from a range of Year Groups performed Shakespeare at Samphire Hoe.

Please do ensure your daughter or son reads for 20 minutes a day. Reading is just so helpful to student development in all their subjects. Digital Library

Thank you for all your support this week and have a lovely weekend.  

   

Yours Sincerely,
