Dear families and carers,<\/p>\n
I hope this email finds you well. Eid Mubarak to all of our families who have been celebrating Eid over
\nthe past few days.<\/p>\n
As we approach the end of another term, I wanted to write to you to highlight some of the
\nachievements of our wonderful staff and students this term.<\/p>\n
Greatfields School Dance Company, made up of 31 girls across a range of year groups, won the
\nregional south east heat of the ‘Great Big Dance Off’. We are incredibly proud of the girls for this
\nachievement and we wish them the best of luck in the national finals of the competition this summer.
\nThank you to Mrs White and Ms Faringdon for all of their hard in preparing the students for the
\ncompetition.<\/p>\n
Two weeks ago, a number of Year 7 students and their families took part in a Health Eating Workshop,
\nin which they learnt how to prepare meals in a sustainable and affordable way. It was lovely to see
\nso many young people and their families cooking together and learning new skills. Thank you to Ms
\nCuthbert for organising this.<\/p>\n
Year 8 have all had the opportunity to visit the Natural History Museum, and many thanks to the
\ngeography department for all of their hard work in organising these trips.<\/p>\n
We are also very excited about our upcoming Gascoigne Youth Summit this week, which will involve
\nstudents from Greatfields and local primary schools Gascoigne, Ripple and St Joseph’s coming
\ntogether to discuss some of the challenges they face as young people in our community.<\/p>\n
Our Year 11 and 13 students have been working hard in preparation for the upcoming public exams
\nwhich begin after Easter. It is so important that they continue to work hard over Easter and to attend
\nrevision sessions at school which are on offer. Every day counts as we approach their exams.<\/p>\n
The final day of term will be Friday 4th April. Please note that this will be a normal school day, with all
\nstudents finishing at 3pm. The first day of the summer term is Tuesday 22nd April for all students.<\/p>\n
I would like to wish a Happy Easter to all of our families who will be celebrating over the coming
\nweeks and a peaceful break to all of you.<\/p>\n
My warmest wishes<\/p>\n
Mr Paul
