Delighted
Students
celebrate
their IGCSE
results

Our first H3 University Information Evening, The Next Step:
Searching for and Selecting Universities was a success, with
well over 100 students and
parents in attendance. University and Careers Counsellor
Jack Shull spoke about how to
start the university search
process, TES guidance support

and key dates and deadlines
around the world. His key
message was that the best
choices are informed ones and
that it is vital that students,
parents and the school all
work as a team to ensure the
‘next step’ is the right one.
The IGCSE celebration lunch
held last week was a fun and

fitting way to recognise the
achievements of our current
H3 cohort in their IGCSE final
examinations. We are very
proud of the impressive results from this group and are
pleased with the energy and
enthusiasm they have shown
in their first term as IB students. Well done H3!

Message from the Assistant Head
James Woodall, Assistant Head

Thursday, 11th December was
our annual Values Day here at
TES. The value we were exploring was RESPECT. It was
an action-filled day, with guest
speakers, Year Group activities
and even a football match with
a wide range of Ambassadors
from European consulates.
Students were asked to reflect

on what is meant by respect
and were given the opportunity to write a Respect Card to a
person who has shown them
respect in their lives. Many of
you may be receiving such a
card in the coming days!
It was a hugely successful day
and I would like to thank the
Heads of Year and all other

staff who contributed to the
planning and the running of
activities. You can read more
about the event from a student’s perspective on page 5.
Have a fantastic holiday and
RESPECT to you all!
