STUDENT OF THE WEEK: M. Kelleher Year 11 ‘Nothing but the best!’ Digital Book Choice ‘Peter Pan’ by J.M Barrie ‘DOWNLOAD LINK’ PARENT FEEDBACK Over the past few months, we have asked for your opinions, in parent voice surveys. Your feedback is important to us as well as your messages of support. Thank you for letting us know what we are doing well: ‘I cannot fault Cockshut Hill, they have been so good with any concerns and problems my daughter has had, staff are always there to help and advice. I 100% would recommend the school to other parents. Amazing staff doing a very hard job especially this year I am very grateful for their hard work’ ‘If needed to contact school with any concerns always dealt with by relevant people quickly and effectively.’ ‘I would like to say thanks for all the support and if there is anything that we like as a parent can do more, feel free to contact us.’ #inthistogether #parentalengagement 8 INTERACTIVE PDF PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Dear Parents and Carers, Welcome back to a new half-term. We hope you have all managed to get plenty of rest, including from the screens. The Secretary of State for Education, Gavin Williamson, is due to give an announcement today on our students returning to school. At present, we know that this will not occur before Monday 8th March, and how this will actually look is yet to be revealed. We look forward to our students returning to Cockshut Hill School with the same high expectations as before. Your son/daughter must have a uniform which continues to meet the high standards which we uphold, correct blazer, tie, trousers or skirt and footwear. Students will also need to have a schoolbag and a full set of stationery in preparation for returning to school-based learning. Setting high expectations for uniform and organisation are important to supporting our students to have such discipline when they enter the wider world of work, where such expectations need to be met. Please make use of the coming weeks to ensure that your child is ready to return to us and SOAR. Best wishes, Jason Bridges #NothingButTheBest CLICK TO VIEW OUR GUIDE
