Good Morning,

We hope you have enjoyed our suggested activities this week. Next week our topic will be changing to farms.

Perhaps, if you haven’t already, you could help your child create a beautiful winter picture. We are excited to create an online gallery of art work so we would love to see your photographs.

Our suggested story is on You Tube (unless you have the book) ‘One Snowy Night’ by Nick Butterworth. Discuss the animals in the story and where they might live. If your child has a toy animal at home, could they make somewhere cosy for them to sleep. Perhaps use construction kits or boxes. We would love to see pictures of what they make.

Can your child hear some of the descriptive weather words in the story (for example freezing, shivering etc…)

Have a lovely weekend.

Kind regards

Mrs Mitchell and Mrs Harris

GCSE Results

This year Highclare students have once again produced outstanding GCSE results.  Nearly one third of all grades were at the highest level of 7 and above and our overall pass rate was 92%, all of which are significantly above the national figures of 22% and 68% respectively.

Half of all grades were 6 and above and 98% of our full-time students achieved 5 of more GCSE passes. Having scored particularly excellent grades in Science and Maths, we are welcoming 4 students onto our Pre-Med scholarship program, designed to support students with medicine-related university applications.

Nearly 10% of our cohort have achieved 8 or more GCSEs at the top grades of 7 or above (or 35% achieved 7 or more GCSEs at the top grades of 6 or above).
