Mock exams start
And Years 7, 8 and 9 complete a new maths challenge.
This week our Year 13 students have been sitting their practice assessments and today the Year 11s have commenced theirs.
Safeguarding update – livestreaming age restrictions
TikTok has frequently been called out for its failures to protect under 18s using its service and it has been very popular amongst school-aged children. This month, TikTok is raising its minimum age for livestreaming from 16 to 18. You might already be aware that Meta (which owns Facebook and Instagram) and Google (which owns YouTube) have a minimum livestreaming age of 13.

GLT Maths Problem of the Fortnight - Year 7, 8 and 9
Every fortnight there will be a new mathematics problem for students to complete and submit their solutions. The second task has now been uploaded to Frog ready for students to complete. We had an excellent uptake with the first challenge and have recognised those involved with a text message home.
