1 The Sandon School Newsletter 4 January 2018 Dear Students, Parents and Carers Happy New Year and welcome back to what is traditionally a very busy Spring term. We have the Year 9 Option Choice and Careers Evening on 18 January, and the final preparations and revision sessions in the lead up to public examinations in the summer term. Last year s Year 11 have their GCSE Certificate Evening on 8 February and we look forward to celebrating their successes with them. The Drama Department is very busy this term preparing for its production of Peter Pan to be performed on 6 and 7 February - keep an eye on the newsletter for more details. With January and February to get through before the weather improves, I would like to ask students to ensure they wear something reflective over their uniform when walking to and from school, so that they can be seen by motorists on these dark mornings and evenings. Also please check that we have up to date mobile telephone numbers so we can contact you should the school have to close due to inclement weather. Guidance for Adverse Weather and the Alternative School Day is on our website under Information. J Wincott TOM ANSTEY Congratulations to our alumni Mr Tom Anstey for winning the Jack Petchey Leaders Award which was presented to him at the end of last term by Mr Danko. Tom won the award for his outstanding contribution to technical theatre (lights and sound) for our many productions. He has been a valued volunteer and we are extremely grateful to him for all that he has done to promote excellence in technical theatre over 10 years. Mrs Davis CTL Performing Arts

Many thanks Mrs K Bayley Business Manager NUTS Please be aware that we have some students in school who have severe nut allergies. Whilst we cannot completely avoid all nuts in school, it would be of a great assistance if nut items were not included as part of a packed lunch. Mrs Bayley Business Manager BUS TICKETS Can we remind students that the school bus operator complies with the Essex County Council policy of no pass, no ride. Please can students ensure that they always carry their bus pass. If they have lost their pass during the day, they should see Student Administration who will assist. Replacement bus passes are available from Fourways Coaches at a cost of Can we also remind you that seats cannot be bought for friends who do not usually use the buses as there is insufficient seat capacity to offer this facility. Thank you Mrs Bayley

Applications are invited from someone who is keen to take a strategic role in raising achievements in teaching and learning and inspiring students to participate and achieve within mathematics.

Closing date: 31 January 2018 LOST PROPERTY Any student who has misplaced anything is encouraged to take a look through the items in Student Admin and PE. Can we also ask that all students check that they have not picked up anyone else s belongings in error? It is easily done and can lead to a lot of frustration for all concerned. With so many students having identical uniform and similar coats and bags, this is always going to be an issue, but it can, of course, be limited if all items are NAMED. Please remember that the students should have responsibility for keeping track of their belongings. POSTAGE STAMPS If you have any stamps collected over the Christmas period, don t forget that we collect stamps in school for the RNIB. There is a collection point in the ATLAS centre. Thank you
