Year 11 Leavers’ Assembly
Well done to all staff and students for an excellent Year 11
Leavers’ Assembly last week. A lot of effort went into organising this and it was clearly enjoyed by all concerned. Particular thanks to Mr Douglas, Ms Peters, Ms Mitchell, Heads
of Year, Pastoral Assistants and all Tutors.
Examinations
Public examinations are in full swing. I must remind all students of the importance of conforming to the regulations set
out by the Examination Board. In particular, no mobile
phones should be taken into the examination hall.
Silent Protest
Next Tuesday 24th May, our Travel Green Team will be holding a Silent Protest outside both school gates. This is to encourage parents to drive in a responsible manner. In particular we ask that you do not carry out 3-point turns in front
of the school gates. It is much easier to drop your son/
daughter off further down the road and let them walk the rest
of the way to school.
Half Term
A reminder that we break up for half term on Friday 27th May
at 3:10 pm.

House Connect 4 Tournament
Just one week left to qualify for the next stage of the Connect 4 competition. It’s been an exciting
week with lots of new competitors as Omega have raced to top spot, aided by enthusiastic play by
7Y and especially John (7Y) who has displaced Bhavya (8U) as the number one points scorer so
far. 7Y have been so dominant that they have 5128 points, almost as many as Kappa have from
all their forms put together!
Omega 6434 (John 7Y (1203), Nabiha 7Y (566), Nneka 7Y (488))
Kappa 5164 (Haajra 8N (888), Jaime 8N (773), Kaif 7R (562))
Sigma 3871 (Harry 9P (768), Harry 11P (742), Mr Bissett (682))
Alpha 2722 (Bhavya 8U (1175), Ms Poli (555), Adam 8E (495))
Next Friday, qualifying will finish and only the top 32 will remain to find the 8th annual Oaks Park
Connect 4 champion. In terms of the House Competition, a lot can change in a week. 4682 of
Omega’s points are from players who didn’t play at all in the first
week. Once we reach the knockout stages, it’s a lot harder to
catch up big gaps.

Mr Islam and Aleksandr Jekabson 12N travelled up to Coventry for the BJJ British Open
2016 competition. The level of competition was tough with athletes from all around the UK
competing to become the British Champion of 2016. Mr Islam won his first fight and narrowly
lost 4-4 to an advantage but walked away as a silver medallist. Alek won his first fight by a
rear naked choke submission and lost his second match on an advantage. Well done to
both who competed, Mr islam will be off to Manchester to fight this coming Sunday and
Aleksandr will be competing after his exams are over to start making a mark on a national
level.
