September Good Reads – KS3 – Death Sets Sail – Robin Hood

Posted: 7th September 2022

Starting off this academic year with a literary bang!

Below are our Good Reads for September from our school librarian Mrs Daniels and they are fantastic

 

Death sets sail

We find ourselves on the River Nile in Egypt in this final novel from her award winning murder mystery series. Our two protagonists, Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong are looking forward to seeing pyramids and mummys on their holiday cruise but instead become involved in investigating the murder of a fellow passenger.  Will they crack it?

Robin Hood

‘Robert Muchamore’s latest series brings Robin Hood into the 21st century, with Robin as a 12-year-old on the run.  Action-packed adventure from start to finish, Robin and his team set out to sabotage plans to flood Sherwood Forest and drive out its inhabitants.

As conditions in Sherwood Forest grow more precarious, time is running out for inhabitants of the abandoned shopping mall.  Robin and Marion join in an audacious plan to scupper their oppressors, but the the Sheriff has her response prepared – and it’s ferocious. Have they bitten off more they can chew this time?

A ‘The Times’ Children’s Book of the Week.

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).
