    OLYMPIC GAMES

    At Sedgefield Community Sports College we are relishing the opportunity for London to hold the Olympic Games in 2012. The Olympics gives our students chance to share in athletes successes, failures and life changing moments that only occur every four years. The Olympic games also gives our students a chance to experience and witness different cultures, backgrounds and races coming together to celebrate sport and success on a whole wide stage.

Equipment

 

Following on from our post about high expectations, we have now added a ruler to the minimum equipment expectations we have of our students.  Equipment students need to bring to school are a pen, pencil, ruler and rubber. This basic set of equipment is checked every morning during tutor time and any student who does not have a pen, pencil and/or ruler will be provided one by their tutor so they are always equipped throughout the day. If the tutor has to provide a student with any of the minimum equipment requirements a minimal charge will be made to the students bio-metrics account at the following rates;

 

Pencil – 5p

Pen -10p

Ruler – 15p

 

Although a pen, pencil and ruler are the minimum items of equipment we expect our students to bring, we hope you will see the benefit of equipping your child with both a spare pen and pencil, as well as a wider variety of equipment such as rubbers, coloured pencils, calculators, and protractors etc. Bringing a full range of equipment is perhaps even more important for KS4 students, as they will be able to trust the equipment they use regularly and know exactly how to use it during exams.

 

A copy of a letter sent to parents regarding equipment can be found in the parents section of the website under the tab Uniform & Equipment.

  

The reason we place so much emphasis on students being equipped for their learning is so we can also encourage the highest standards of presentation in their work. Students are constantly encouraged to pride in their work by striving for accuracy in what they do and to take their time.

High Expectations

During the week beginning 19th March students were reminded of the need to come to school suitably equipped with a pen, pencil and rubber.  I am sure that with the support of parents, those that currently fail to do so will quickly change their ways.  However, any student that fails to have equipment available at the start of morning lessons will be provided with the missing items at the cost of 10p per pen and 5p per pencil with this cost deducted from the child’s account in school.

Once we know that all students have the correct equipment we will then begin to be much more insistent upon high standards of presentation in books.

Year 7 Homework Projects

Year 7 pupils, pictured here in Mr Kidd's lesson, had a fantastic time with their recent Homework Project on Castles, for Humanities. The work produced was of an excellent standard and students clearly enjoyed this project. Well done to all of the pupils pictured here!

All key stage 3 pupils can now access their current homework tasks from each Faculty Cloud by clicking 'students' at the top of this page.
