Donations to FEED

Over the last term we have been collecting food and other items for the charity FEED which is based at St Albans Vineyard Church on Brick Knoll Park Estate. This is a charity which helps over 80 families within the area who struggle to feed their families, giving them food, help and support every Monday. I am happy to announce that we collected over 80 items for FEED and still have more which will be collected by Carol Cahill who heads up FEED at St Albans Vineyard Church. Thank you to all Parent/Carers and students who contributed, we really appreciate the effort you made and hope this continues next year. A special thanks to some forms who went above and beyond what was asked of them and to the students who helped load Carol's Van, Well done!  Miss Bailey

ACCELERATED READER

ACCELERATED READER

This is a scheme that is aimed at improving student’s levels of literacy. It engages children with reading and ensures students are reading at the appropriate levels. It also develops understanding of texts. The scheme involves all Years 7 8 and 9. In year 10 and 11 students continue with reading in lessons but the reading is more focused around GCSE work. It has become noticeable over recent months that are a number of students are not bringing in reading books on a daily basis and we would be grateful for parent/carer support in ensuring that this situation changes. Thank you for your support
