Congratulations
During this term, sixteen junior rowers from the Bexhill
Rowing Club headed up to the Copper Box Arena, Queen
Elizabeth Olympic Park, for the National Junior Indoor
Rowing Championships, including Demelza and Isabel from
Year 9. Isabel came 177th and Demelza 154th, a great
performance for their first year!
Achievement points
Although many pupils continue to accumulate an impressive
amount of Achievement points, there seems to be somewhat
of a decline in the amount some pupils are receiving. Please
encourage your child to continue to work hard, both in class
and at home, to complete charity work, support the liturgical
life of the school, attend school as much as they are able,
and complete letters of The Crest.
And finally, although the pupils have chosen the subjects
they would like to study for GCSE, it is imperative that they
continue to try their hardest across the curriculum and enjoy
their last two terms studying a broad subject base.
Extra-curricular clubs
I am happy to confirm that Prep Club and a wide range of
other extra-curricular clubs are taking place daily. With
the days growing lighter, and fingers crossed, the weather
improving, please continue to encourage your child to give
a new club a go. This additional enrichment opportunity is a
great opportunity for your child.
Please remember that we are always here to help and we
all want to work closely with yourselves to ensure that your
child is happy and fulfilled, thus enabling them to reach their
full potential. Please do not hesitate to contact myself or your
child’s Form Tutor if you have any concerns.
Have a happy, restful and peaceful Easter break.
Year 9 (contd)

Achievement points and with Grace, Daniel, Patricija,

Macayla, Ciara and Clea who have all amassed over 300

Assemblies
As I mentioned in my weekly bulletin, Year 10 had a singing
practice assembly a few weeks ago and it was a great
success. I was very pleased with their efforts and hope to
repeat this soon. I have spoken to Year 10 in assembly
about the application process to become Prefects, Senior
Prefects, Deputy Head Girl/Boy, Head Girl and Head Boy.
The Application went live on 13th March and is in the Year
10 Google Classroom.
PSHEe
During Term 4, Year 10 have been looking at SRE Education
focusing on the ‘qualities of a good relationship’. In Term 5,
Year 10 will be looking at Barclay Life Skills (Finance and
the World of Work, Planning Your Finances for the Future).
Year 10 Exams
The Year 10 examinations are due to commence on
Monday, 22nd April until Thursday, 2nd May. The timetable
has been emailed out to all parents and pupils, along with a
revision timetable model. Pupils can edit their own version
of this document on the Year 10 Google Classroom. Year
10 should have already begun to revise for their Year 10
examinations.
Pupils are expected to come prepared for their exams with
all the equipment required. Seating plans will be appearing
on pupils’ EduLink under the ‘exams’ section. Paper copies
of the exam timetable were printed and handed out at
Parents' Evening.
Year 10 Reports and Parents/Carers evening
You will soon be receiving your child's Year 10 progress
report. Please ensure you read this and go through
the report with your son/daughter. Pupils will have an
opportunity in PSHEe to review their report and set targets
for themselves, highlighting areas for further development.
