Year 11


With the GCSE exams coming to an end, year 11 students had a fantastic prom to look forward to which took place on 1st July in the hall at Great Marlow. I am indebted to Miss Hunt and the Art department for the hard work they put in to turn the hall into a spectacular ‘Enchanted Forest.’ The students had a fantastic evening and I hope have numerous photos that they will look back on in years to come. The Year book was published shortly before the end of the exams and year 11 have a fantastic record of their life at Great Marlow so far.


KS3/4 STAFFING NEWS


As we near the end of this academic year, we wish to inform you of the staffing changes that will affect your son/daughter as they move further up the school. Mrs McMahon and Mr Taylor are to relinquish their Director of Learning roles to focus on departmental responsibilities and we would like to thank them for all their hard work.


Mr Ross has been appointed as the Director of Learning for Key Stage 3. He will also have direct responsibility for Year 8 with Miss King as Director of Learning for Year 7 and Mr Payne Director of Learning for Year 9.


Mrs Craig continues as Director of Learning for Key Stage 4 and will have direct responsibility for students in Year 11. Miss Tuddenham, a member of the Modern Foreign Languages department has been appointed to the position of Director of Learning for Year 10 and will be joining our team to support your child throughout their time at Great Marlow School.


As from September 2016 the year groups will be led by the following members of staff:


The revision sessions put on by teachers during Easter and Half Term were exceptionally well attended and the students themselves commented on how valuable they had been. This is another example of teachers going the extra mile to support the learning and achievement of students.


In their final assembly, I recognised the vast


amount of talent the year group have in music, sport, especially rowing, as well as academically. The prefects have represented the school well, students have attended examinations prepared and on time and we look forward to seeing them on results day in August.


The Year 11 tutor team are moving onto different year groups and I would like to thank them for all their hard work. Mrs Daly has done a fantastic job with her tutor group and I would like to wish her a long and happy retirement.


PARENT COMMUNICATION SURVEY


I would like to thank the parents from all year groups who were selected to take part in a survey on parent communication. The information that has been provided allows us to see where we can make improvements and where parents are happy with the communication they receive from Great Marlow. As a result of the feedback received, we have organised the following information evenings in the new term:


Thursday 8th September 6.00pm Year 10 Tuesday 13th September 6.00pm Year 9 Wednesday 14th September 6.00pm Year 8 Thursday 15th September 6.00pm Year 11


These will be led by the Directors of Learning and provide parents with information relevant to the specific year group.
