Not winding down
With our Year 13 students celebrating the end of their IB Diploma Programme examinations and looking forward to their graduation celebrations tomorrow, we may be forgiven for thinking that the school year is drawing to a close. Nothing could be further from the truth (as the Year 11 IGCSE candidates know full well!).
With five weeks left of term, we can look forward to the opening of our IB Visual Arts Exhibition next Tuesday, the KS3 Drama Showcase on Wednesday, closely followed in subsequent weeks by the Aquathlon, Y6 Parents Transition Day and the Year 11 Prom. Internal examinations feature for all year groups and students should already be working towards these. Innovation Day and the end of year Prize Giving round off the last week.
CIE Inspection
This week we were visited by an inspector from Cambridge International Education. The unannounced inspection, which lasted through to the end of the day’s examination session, checked that we were running IGCSE examinations in accordance with regulations. Needless to say, we met all criteria and the inspector commented that this was one of the best run examination centres she had seen. Many thanks to Mr. Ian Wilson, Examinations Officer, for making this happen.
Learning Technologies Presentation
On Thursday evening, Mr. Ben Turner gave a presentation to parents on the developments in learning technologies at AP2 and answered questions about the “Bring Your Own Device” laptop programme that extends to all secondary year groups from August. If you missed the presentation, a summary of the key points was included in the Learning Technologies letter last week. If you have any questions about the Bring Your Own Device” laptop programme , do not hesitate to call or write in to:
