The return of the Tri School Kid Lit Quiz

The Junior Mathematical Challenge is a 60-minute, multiple-choice competition aimed at students across the UK. It encourages mathematical reasoning, precision of thought, and fluency in using basic mathematical techniques to solve interesting problems. The problems on the Junior Mathematical Challenge are designed to make students think. Most are accessible, yet still challenge those with more experience. 

Congratulations to Hattie 8L who competed in the British National Judo Championships and won the Gold medal!

This term is all about making sure our Year 11 and 13 students feel as well-prepared for their summer exams as possible with support for revision and wellbeing  during the final push.

After months of prompting from schools the Department for Education has this week provided more clarity around what happens if students in Years 11 or 13 are unwell with Covid symptoms during the summer external examination period. Information can be found here Everything you need to know about Covid measures during exams this summer - The Education Hub (blog.gov.uk). Further information will be shared directly with parents of Year 11 and 13 students in the next week or so.

As Year 11 and Year 13 approach the more formal exams and assessments I thought it timely to share some resources that can help you support young people with inevitable exam pressure.
