Dear Parents

 

It has been a pleasure to welcome so many of you to the Meet the Academic Tutor and Information Evenings. Thank you to so many of you for your kind and encouraging comments to my colleagues as we get stuck into the academic year.

 

Your support is vital and means so much.

 

We are delighted by the parental survey feedback and as ever will respond individually to any query or concern raised.

I held assemblies with all Year Groups last week and spoke to students about the importance of working hard on class and homework, representing themselves and Brockhill to the highest standards and crucially of being kind to and showing care for each other. As ever, it was an absolute pleasure to meet with the students.

 

Our Presentation and Sports Award Evenings were very enjoyable events and enabled us to celebrate the achievements of so many students.

 

The Sports Award evening was inspirational to me as it was initiated, organised, hosted and attended by some of our newest and – dare I say – youngest staff. Their dedication and commitment to their students is inspirational.

We also held a fire alarm drill during last week, where the children acquitted themselves perfectly.

 

Lunchtime and after school clubs are now up and running, and we are offering a range of club activities. Please encourage your daughter or son to join a club, as these enrichment activities are both really enjoyable and helpful to students’ development. Please see the clubs listed on our website.

As of this morning, teachers had awarded a total of 3,894 Excellent Effort points to students this week. We really want to celebrate the effort and commitment of our students. Separately, we are sending more than 300 letters and commendations to parents of students who engaged well around their summer assignments.

We will shortly start back up our loans system for IT equipment. If you would like your child to borrow a laptop please make your request to office@brockhill.kent.sch.uk and we will be pleased to help. Our technicians will work to meet requests just as quickly as they can, but this may take a few days.

Have a wonderful weekend.

 

Yours sincerely

Charles Joseph
