News - Week ending 26th February

Sion Mission

A full programme of events and experiences has taken place this week when members of the Sion Catholic Community for Evangelism were in school. Students were involved in a variety of workshops, reflecting on and exploring their faith. There were also opportunities for staff, parents, governors and Year 6 pupils from our feeder primaries to join in with the Mission. The week ended with a whole school Mass.

New Extension

The structure is beginning to take shape with the steel framework now in place. Staircases and floors have also been added.

Upgrade to the Phone System

Our phone system was upgraded over the half term holiday. There were some initial teething problems but we hope parents will appreciate the new facility where they can call a dedicated ‘events’ line. This will be updated daily to provide details of sports fixtures, trip information, etc.

GCSE Exams

Modular exams in Maths and Science are being held next week. All Y10 take Maths are on Tuesday morning. Year 11 resits are also on this day in both the morning and afternoon. The science exams are for Sets R1 – R3; Year 11 is on Thursday morning, Year 10 and Year 11 resits are on Friday morning. For further information please contact either Mr Addington (Maths) or Mrs Eulert (Science).

Attendance

At Fisher More we strive for our pupils to have good attendance as there is a direct link with this to attainment. Although our attendance levels are good there is always room for improvement so this will be a main focus of the pastoral team next week.

Magistrates’ Visits

A series of visits by local magistrates will be taking place over the next two weeks for Year 9 students.

Year 7 Bikeability

A 6 week scheme began on Wednesday this week from 2.30pm to 4.30pm to encourage safe use of bikes. More information about this project is available from Mr Atkin.

Friends of Fisher More

The newly formed group is making great headway with several projects which will enhance and benefit our pupils’ education. Year 10 students Laura Dickinson and Isobel Church designed the winning logo which will be used on the Friends’ mailshots and the school website. Watch out for information coming home soon about the introduction of the Duke of Edinburgh Award and a project supporting the school’s 3As – Attendance, Attainment and Attitude. The Friends next meeting is on Tuesday, March 30th, 7.45pm at Café Cargo, Foulridge.
