YEAR 11 NOTICE - ATTENDANCE DURING GCSE EXAMS No students will be allowed to leave school following exams unless medical evidence

is provided a minimum of a day before the appointment. Emergency appointments

will require medical evidence the day after.

Failure to follow the above procedure will result in the absence being unauthorised which will lead to 50 Prom points per period being deducted.

It is vital that students remain in school to take advantage of revision sessions that have been planned and to access staff with any queries regarding their exams.

Please contact Mrs Martin with any attendance issues during the exam period.

Thank you for your support.

Miss Fryer, Year 11 Progress Leader and Mrs Martin, Year 11 Student Manager.

FEEDBACK OF EVENTS FOR PARENTS Before half term, the school held an Open Morning for parents and an Evening Surgery

for parents. Five parents came in for the Open Morning, one of whom had a tour

around the school. Two parents came in for the Evening Surgery.

We hope these parents found the opportunity useful, the Senior Leaders who met with

them certainly did.

These events will continue, one of each per term. The next Open Morning will be on

Thursday 4th July, 9am-12:20pm.

Future Evening Surgeries and Open Mornings will be published on the colour calendar

for the next school year.

RADA SHAKESPEARE AWARDS On the 23rd of May, some of our fantastic year 8 and 9 pupils were given the very

exciting opportunity of taking part in the prestigious RADA Shakespeare bronze award

alongside Warwick University.

RADA, The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, is a world-renowned and world-leader in

training for the arts so to have two of their staff travel up from London to assess our

pupils was a great honour and one which the pupils very much relished.

All the pupils were an absolute credit to both themselves and the school and the

assessors have emailed me to say what a ’fantastic school and students we have here

at Rainhill’ and that they would love to come back again. Myself and Mrs Renison

could not have been prouder of the pupils who took part and here is to many more

pupils taking part in the Shakespeare awards in years to come.

Mrs Speers, Drama Teacher.

END OF YEAR REWARDS TRIP Dear Parent/Carer

The end of year rewards trip is on Wednesday 18th July at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.

You were written to earlier in the year with the criteria that your child must achieve if

they are able to attend. The final decision, based on the criteria below, will be taken

on Friday 15th June.

95% Attendance and Punctuality

Attitude To Learning 1-3 in 11 out of 13 subjects in all Learning Programmes

(Years 7 and 8)

Attitude To Learning 1-3 in 7 out of 8 subjects in all Learning Programmes

(Years 9 and 10)

If your child did not start the year well, but has shown considerable improvement over

a significant period of time, then their Year Progress Leader will present their case to

Mrs Munro and Mr Lamb who will have the final decision on whether they will be

invited to attend. If they to do not achieve the criteria and have not made sufficient

improvement either, then an alternative day will be organised for them in school. For

those that have achieved the criteria, a letter will be posted out to you week

beginning Monday 18th June with details of the trip and when payment for it is due.

CATERING WB 11/06/18 Please see below the list of practical lessons planned in Catering/Food Preparation

at break time and lunchtime. Please ensure your child brings a water bottle into

YEAR 7 LEARNING PROGRAMME - ASSESSMENT WEEK 3 From Monday 11th June to Thursday 21st June 2018 (inclusive), all students in Year 7 will

be undertaking assessments in the subjects they are currently studying. It should be

noted that all assessments are cumulative and therefore based potentially on

anything that your son/daughter has studied during this academic year.

The Year 7 assessment will be based on a cumulative exam paper in their subject

from which a teacher is able to give a fine GCSE grade (1 to 9). Year 7 students will

complete their examinations in their classrooms under exam conditions. For

performance and practical subjects (Drama, Music, Art and Technology) the Year 7

assessment will be based on a current substantive piece of work in their subject from

which a teacher is able to give a fine GCSE grade (1 to 9).

Please see the exam timetable so your son/daughter is aware of when their

examinations take place. Please could you encourage and support your son/

daughter to prepare thoroughly for these exams as they will give them a good

indication of the progress they have made to date.

I have included some guidance around revision and preparing effectively for exams.

For example, in the lead up to the examinations your son/daughter should be

completing approximately 2 hours of independent revision per day. Your son/

daughter should be very clear about what is being examined from their class teacher.

I have asked all teaching staff to set revision homework via Show My Homework for

the next few weeks until the examinations have been sat which your son/daughter

should record in their planner.

I trust that you find this information useful and that we are able to best work together

to ensure that your son/daughter continues to make progress in all the subjects they

are studying.

Mr Cunningham, Deputy Head Teacher - Director of Studies.

YEAR 9 LEARNING PROGRAMME - ASSESSMENT WEEK 3 From Monday 11th June to Friday 15th June 2018 (inclusive), all students in Year 9 will be

undertaking assessments in the subjects they are currently studying. For GCSE subjects

these assessments will be based on past paper questions and will be taken under

exam conditions to best prepare your son/daughter for final examinations in May/June

2020.

In the case of English Literature, we have made the decision that this year group will

be sitting their actual GCSE at the end of year 10 in order to manage their Year 11

exam load. With this in mind, all English Literature exams from this point in time will be

sat in the sports hall and replicate real GCSE exams. Experience tells us that this helps

alleviate some of the nerves over time. Information will be given to students via an

assembly.

Please see the exam timetable so your son/daughter is aware of when their

examinations take place. All examinations will take place in the classroom under

exam conditions except the English Literature paper which has been scheduled for

the whole year group in the Sport Hall.

Please could you encourage and support your son/daughter to prepare thoroughly

for these exams as they will give them a good indication of the progress they have

made to date and what they need to do to improve in order that they can secure

fantastic exam results in the summer of 2020.



completing approximately 2 – 3 hours of independent revision per day. Your

son/daughter should be very clear about what is being examined from their class

teacher.

I have asked all teaching staff to set revision homework for the next few weeks until

planner.

ASSESSMENT WEEK 3 From Monday 18th until Monday 28th June (inclusive) all students in Year 10 will be

undertaking assessments in the subjects they are currently studying. For GCSE subjects

these assessments will be based on past paper questions, and indeed complete

papers, and will be taken under exam conditions to best prepare your son/daughter

for final examinations in May/June 2019.


examinations take place. Please could you encourage and support your son/daughter

to prepare thoroughly for these exams as they will give them a good indication of the

they can secure fantastic exam results in the summer of 2019.

In preparation to the examinations your son/daughter should be completing

approximately 2 – 3 hours of independent revision per day. To help with this I have

asked your son/daughter’s teachers to set revision as homework. Further, your

son/daughter should be very clear about what is being examined from their class

teacher.
