Dear Parents and Carers,
We have had the pleasure of the company of our new Year 7 students this week but equally noteworthy has
been to see how confident and established our current Year 7s have become. Their performance of
Frankenstein on Wednesday evening was fantastic and their talent for performance has also been in
evidence in the plays they have put together in French, which have been a pleasure to attend. We have four
representatives of the year group speaking to prospective parents at Open Evening and the vast majority of
the year group were tour guides. They all speak with great enthusiasm and passion about their first year at
Rosebery, which is lovely to hear. Year 7, and indeed all students in Years 8-10, have also coped admirably
with the pressures of internal assessments which have taken place over the last two weeks
It has been ‘moving day’ this week, with Year 11 students returning to ‘taste’ the Sixth Form in addition to
our visitors from our feeder primary schools. I am very grateful to the brilliant Year 9 Peer Supporters for
their hard work with our new recruits, which really helps smooth the transition process considerably.
A reminder that next week marks the last week of timetabled lessons, before we collapse the timetable for
our Activities Week. Enrichment is an important and statutory part of our curriculum and we schedule this
at this stage of the term to avoid students missing a large number of lessons earlier in the year. There is a
very exciting schedule of activities for every year group and I am grateful to Miss Margetts for her work in
organising the week. Sports’ Day will take place on the penultimate day of term, and students will need to
make their own way to the Harrier Centre (Poole Road, West Ewell) and we then finish on Friday 17 July at
12pm. I have had a number of requests for days out and holidays for the remainder of term. I know that it
is disappointing that I cannot authorise these absences, but our policy on attendance, which is based on
stringent national guidelines, means that, however sympathetic I might be to the reasons for the trip, I am
simply unable to authorise it.
The heat has added an additional challenge this week! At the moment the forecast for next week is for more
moderate temperatures so, unless we contact you, we will revert back to usual uniform rules. In the
