Year 7 Parents' Coffee Morning

I would like to formally invite you to join me at Sprowston Community High School for an informal ‘coffee and chat’ from 10:15 to 11:15 on the morning of Friday 3 May 2013.

The purpose of these events is to open a forum in which you as Parents, Guardians and Carers can voice your views and opinions about how well you feel the school supports the needs of you and your family.

As well as a variety of other topics we will also discuss the transition process. The move from Junior to High School will always be a time of great upheaval for all of our new students, we invest a large amount of time and effort to ensure a smooth transition, but there is always room for improvement and your views would be greatly appreciated.

Whether you have strong opinions to express, would like to chat and listen to staff and parents or you just fancy a cup of coffee with friends, you will be warmly welcomed.

A letter is being sent home to you, if you would like to join us, I request that you complete the reply slip on the letter and return to my PA, Ms Rachael Evitt in the school office by Tuesday 30 April.

I look forward to seeing you then,

Anna Cook

Year 7 History students take on board game designing role

As part of the Year 7 Medieval Realms module Miss Hill set 7KH the challenge of designing a board game which would reflect their understanding of how and why castle design developed during the Middle Ages. A further challenge was to design their game in such a way that others could learn about how castles were attacked and defended simply by playing the game and having fun. These games were peer assessed during the next lesson, where everyone had the opportunity to play different games and consider presentation, historical accuracy, and playability. The Head of History, Mr Bright, also assessed their games and interviewed the students on the reasons behind their design. Together we awarded first place to Kieren Mason’s design and joint second places to Rebecca Richardson and Lauren Fowler...Read more
