Apollo House
We are now over half way through the first term!
After a busy start to the year, Year 7 students have settled in well, Year 8 students are working with the PiXL
Edge programme, Year 9 students have started their GCSE options, Year 10 students are looking for a
placement for their work experience next July and Year 11 students have just completed their first set of pre
public examinations and are busy looking at sixth forms and colleges for next year.
Two weeks ago, I shared with tutors the latest attitude to learning data and it is really nice to see that the vast
majority of students in Apollo are doing really well. They are focused in lessons, equipped to learn and trying
their best. There are 53 students with an outstanding attitude to learning. The top 10 are listed below:
Renata Bartha, 10DPA
Irene Chen, 10DPA
Bobby Brannen, 9JCO
Julia Niedzinska, 10DPA
Alec Chaplin, 11JSM
Kaydee Maher, 9GCH
Sophie Chaloner, 10RSP
Katie Eaton, 10RSP
Julia Nowak, 10DPA
Ellie Letts, 11LW
There have also been a few competitions since September and I am very pleased to see that Apollo students
have taken part and some have even won too! Special mention to Ella-Mae Reesby (8AKA) and Ellie Purchon
(8AKA) for winning the bake-off competition, to Renata Bartha (10DPA) for winning the Christmas card
competition and to Julia Ozog (7MWH) for winning the photography competition. Thanks to all these good
results and many students taking part, our House, is currently at the top of the competition leaderboard.
I now look forward to seeing what the next 4 weeks will bring! In the meantime, if you have any queries or
concerns about your child, please do not hesitate to contact myself ([email protected]) or Miss
Hicks, our Student Welfare Leader ([email protected]) at school or by email.
