Dear Parents

Students have worked very well this week and enjoyed the warmer weather. Teachers have awarded 4072 Excellent Effort points this week! Thank you, parents and families for all your support.

We will keep students fully engaged around their classroom learning right up until the end of the summer term, and also undertake as many enrichment activities as possible. I am constantly amazed at our staff’s desire and hunger to organise Trips and visiting speakers to ensure we provide students with a ‘window on the world.’

Your children have continued to amaze this week through their volunteering in Tynward Care Home, participating and coming 1^st of 23 schools in a cheerleading competition at Medway Park and our choir leading and participating in the local ‘Big Sing’ at the Leas Cliff Hall. Elsewhere, our sports’ leaders have supported the Bodsham Primary School Sports’ Day and primary schools’ cricket matches at Hythe Cricket Club. Whatever our age, direct engagement with each other is just so important.

We look forward to welcoming parents to Sports’ Day on the afternoon of Friday, June 26^th and will send more information before then.

Sixth Form Induction for current Year 11 students will take place from Monday, June 22nd – Wednesday, June 24^th.

Public Examinations are nearing their end and our examination focus is shifting to all Year Groups, who will sit Walking Talking Mock (teachers help) and then Pre-public (teachers do not help) Examinations this term to begin or continue their preparation for Public Examinations. The ‘examination’ activities will of course be age appropriate and designed by teachers to increase student confidence, as well as test how much students remember of what they have learnt.

Through our website, we aim to signpost students and parents to organisations, which provide support for the range of issues we may all encounter in daily life. Please do take a look. Support for Young People and Their Parents

Thank you to so many of you who have reached out to us with words of thanks over these past weeks, as your children move on to Sixth Form. These words are so gratefully received. Your words of support and encouragement are so important, as is your kindness when we ‘get it wrong.’

There are more qualified teachers, who choose not to teach in schools than do and it is vitally important that we retain them.

If you have an interest in teacher training, please contact our Mr Travers by mailing office@brockhill.kent.sch.uk as we are still recruiting for September.

Please ask your child to choose a book from our latest digital library. Reading for 20 minutes a day impacts on student attainment across all their subjects.   Digital Library Summer Term
