RE: End of Term Arrangements
I send this note to let you know the end of term arrangements for pupils at Bishop Walsh. On the last day
of term, Thursday 24th March 2016, we will finish at our usual school time of 3.20pm.
Holy Week and Lenten Almsgiving
This week is Holy Week. During this week pupils will worship in a liturgy reflecting on the events of Jesus’
passion and ultimate sacrifice. You can be proud that your children have got themselves involved in so
many Lenten almsgiving activities. Lent fundraising has involved raising money for CAFOD, St. Nicholas
World Development Group and Fr. Hudson's.
Walk of Witness in Sutton Town Centre on Good Friday
Some of our pupils under the direction of the Drama Department are producing a version of the Stations of
the Cross to be shown in Sutton Coldfield Town Centre on Good Friday, Friday 25th March 2016. The
pupils involved are from years 7, 8, 9 and 10 and this is the tenth year in the last eleven that pupils from
Bishop Walsh have provided the dramatic presentation of the Stations of the Cross. The event is part of
the powerful ‘Walk of Witness’ organised by the ecumenical Sutton Council of Churches and begins at the
top of Trinity Hill at just after 11.00am. It would be great to see parents walking with our pupils to mark
this most solemn day.
Staff Leaving
We say goodbye to Mr. Gallagher in the Mathematics Department who is leaving Bishop Walsh this week
and is moving to a school in Manchester. We wish him well and thank him for his nearly eight years’
service at Bishop Walsh. We also say goodbye to Mrs Aplin who has been working in the ICT technician
team for the last three years. We wish her well and thank her for his work as she looks forward to
embarking on a teacher training course.
PRIZEGIVING – Wednesday March 23rd 2016 at 7.30pm in the Sports Hall
This Wednesday we are celebrating all the public examination success of the academic year, 20142015. Past and current students will also receive subject and whole school prizes. Our guest who will
hand out certificates and prizes is Declan Bennett. Declan is a Catholic singer-songwriter and actor
who was born in Coventry and promotes the Kenelm Youth Trust – the youth services of the Archdiocese of
Birmingham. Declan has performed lead roles including, Guy, in the UK premier of ‘Once’. In early
2014, Declan joined BBCs ‘Eastenders’ as Charlie Cotton. Declan has recently been chosen by Andrew
Lloyd-Webber to play Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar in the West End this summer.
Examinations
Pupils in Years 10, 11, 12 and 13 should be working hard revising for their public examinations at GCSE
and A Level while our Year 9 pupils have internal examinations starting on week beginning 9th May 2016
-2and year 7 on week beginning 16th May. From September 2016 We are adding a ‘Traffic Light and Full
Report’ reply slip into the homework diary’s and would ask parents that once they have read your
son/daughter’s report to please sign this sheet. In the meantime I would also like to encourage any
feedback on the report to be sent via email to [email protected] or phone the school on
0121 351 3215.
As already communicated to year 8 parents there is a Year 8 Parents’ and Options Evening on

about 15 minutes with a chance for questions and answers afterwards.
Whole School Golden Jubilee Photograph
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bishop Walsh Catholic School this summer we are having a whole
school photograph which includes all pupils and all staff on the morning of Friday 15th April 2016. It has
been ten years since there was a whole school photograph at Bishop Walsh.

Conclusion
I hope you find time to go to the services in your local church on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and for
the greatest Christian festival of all, Easter Sunday – the resurrection of Jesus. (Times of services in
local churches are printed on the reverse side of this letter)
All pupils are expected back in school on Monday 11th April, 2016, at 8.50am. I have appreciated all
the support that the school has received from parents this term and I hope that you have a restful Easter
break.
Yours sincerely,
J.B. Farrell.

Very informative parents’ evening- thank you.
My daughter enjoys her time at Bishop Walsh where she feels encouraged and valued. She is naturally keen
and takes full opportunity of the extra- curricular activities that are offered to her. Thank you to all the staff
who care for our daughter. She loves school and we are so pleased with all her achievements ( we were
particularly proud of her 1’s in her traffic light report)
Excellent evening, very detailed reports. My daughter is progressing very well in all subjects.
We made a comment following the traffic light report but did not receive communication back or a
response. We mentioned this to the tutor at parents’ evening- they advised they had not received any
information of our concern.
It was well run and we managed to see all teachers.
Our son started at this school in October this year. To date he appears to have settled well.
Really happy with school.
Thank you for all your hard work
Please thank the teachers for all their hard work.
We were disappointed that a dept. took over a week to contact us when we identified an issue. We had to
speak to Mr Koryl before they contacted us. We were disappointed that our son was moved groups in Maths
and English without any prior notification. His end of Yr. 8 report did not identify any issues.
It was very pleasing to know the concerns I put on my son’s report was given to the teachers. Mrs Chilwan
has done an exceptional job.
Extremely pleased with teaching. My daughter is doing very well and is very happy with the school. Can we
confirm examining boards for each subject. (We will put this information on the ‘exams’ tab of the website)
A great parents’ evening. Our son has made great progress and we are really pleased with the effort and
support the teachers have shown him. Many thanks.
I would like to see the introduction of Ipads used in all subjects. Electronic communication only please.
Generally pleased with school.
We have been in regular contact with the school over the last 2 and half years. We find staff to largely be
very professional and hardworking. We have always been impressed at parents’ evening that staff know our
son and give positive, constructive comments. Mrs Mannion is a real asset and has provided considerable
effective support. The SEN dept are very good- know our son inside out and back to front. Mrs Purchase and
the other female TA’s in Yr 9 are great. Mr Farrell’s leadership is inspirational- he is firm, fair, approachable
and dedicated to the school and pupils. Mr Koryl has given us a lot of his time as parents and is well
respected by the children as a fantastic teacher. Reception staff are very welcoming and helpful. Thank you
everyone. Only 1 thing (that I have mentioned before) that would improve- can school ensure reports are
received by parents within term time so that any issues can be addressed with school, there and then.

Good system- it works at keeping parents informed.

Bigger signs please- having to go up to check/find teacher. Egg timer – why have it on the table if it is not
used. Sports hall packed- all teachers occupied. CN building- teachers waiting for parents. Empty seats- I
managed to see 3 teachers in 15 mins and still empty. (We will do our best to act on what we can here –
Mr. F)
Great school. Great enthusiasm from all staff. My son has so many thanks for all your hard work. Only moanmy son finds mixed Yr 9/10 PE very difficult with Yr 9 behaviour. Also, choice of general sports limited. Is this
due to behaviour. I do think it is a shame not to enthuse them in a variety of different sports. I do appreciate
it is difficult if the classes’ behaviour is poor. (We are extending range of sports done to include Rugby soon
- Mr. F)
I am always kept informed of my daughter’s progress and wellbeing. I cannot praise the school and staff
enough for the sensitivity and support they show her.
Meeting with my daughter’s teachers has been a great help in understanding how she is getting along and
how we can help her improve.
Fantastic school. Great teaching.
Additional funding for further school facilities would be a great benefit. (We have gained over £200,000
extra funding for school facilities in last year and seek further grants and ways of improving facilities – Mr.
F)
Well organised evening. Please can the list of your child’s teachers be in a larger font.
Felt more optimistic re getting through due to egg timers. Brill. Well done!
The school continues to provide a nurturing and family environment, great staff who care and a wonderful
experience for our son.
Real enjoy attending parents’ evening but the teachers did not use the egg timers provided. I feel it would be
better use of their time if they were used, allowing teachers to finish at a reasonable time. (Staff are reading
this and I will prompt them to use egg timers provided – sometimes we just forget! – Mr F.)
I am not happy that my child cannot bring home her English novel because we have not paid for a copy.
Other subjects allow text books to be brought home. A big thank you to Mrs Adriano for the clear
information on our daughter’s progress and encouraging her to believe in herself.
Can you put a bigger gap between the chairs so that the parents with the teachers are further away from
those queuing? Thank you
Discipline needs to be across the board. All pupils treated equally regarding appearance and not singled out.
This has distracted my daughter from her school work. She is a child who enjoys school and attending school,
however, with her being singled out, she felt harassed and did not want to attend. (We do not apologise for
high standards of uniform and would hope that parents who have chosen to send their children to Bishop
Walsh Catholic School support these standards – Mr. F)
Really helpful to have careers advisor at the parents’ evening. Greatly helped and given all the information
and more. Welcome idea to sell RE booklets on the day. Hour glass- welcome thank you. Great well
organised evening.
Our daughter enjoys school, we fell she has lost confidence in her ability and is doubting herself. We are
working at home with her and we are happy that a number of her teachers recognise this too. We know she
has the ability to achieve excellent grades and with the help of all of us we pray she is successful.
I implore the governors and management to look into the provision of care for children and staff who face
physical difficulties. Please look at the budget- please install a lift to the top floors- especially core subject
areas. Provision is made for children with learning difficulties and emotional issues but the school


architecture cannot cater for physically impaired/disabled children so that all children can receive a full
education. (see earlier comment about disability awareness plan – Mr. F)
There are occasionally subjects where control of the wider class is weak which is disruptive to the learning of
those pupils who really want to learn. Exemplary pupils can find themselves dispersed across the class to
assist in improving control which compromises their attainment. Also concern at the minimal 2hrs per week
language tuition when for top universities you need a GCSE language qualification. (We are changing our
options system for the current year 8 to accommodate some of the sentiments expressed her – Mr. F)
Hugely positive parents’ evening and as I always say – the care, interest and enthusiasm from my daughter’s
teachers comes across. F.A.O. Can additional English focus more on the English GCSE poetry/English text
they are studying? A huge thank you to all of my daughter’s teachers and let them know their support, help
and teaching is greatly appreciated.

Sixth Form news
Year 12 students’ last full day of normal lessons will be on Thursday 12th May. As of the 13th
May and right through the start of the AS exam period Year 12s will have the option to attend
structured revision sessions lead by their teachers. We strongly urge students to attend these for
some final and vital ‘booster’ revision. The schedule for these sessions will be released after the
Easter holiday.
Year 12 will all return to school after their exams on Thursday 16th June. Students must attend
school from the 16th June to the Friday 15th July as failure to have good attendance in this
summer term will result in a poor attendance record which we are obliged to report on UCAS,
apprenticeship or employment references. Don't forget that that the last week of the summer term,
the week beginning the 18th July is where you have arranged work experience. Students are to
make sure that they have plans in place and are using this time to gain a valuable insight into a
planned field of employment.
Year 13 students’ last full day of normal lessons will be Friday 27th May. Year 13 students are
welcome to attend the AS revision classes during the school day but they must be mindful of the
fact that due to specification changes in light of the A Level Reforms, this may not be appropriate
in all cases.
With regards to Year 13s who are re-sitting AS exams they will be granted the following final
preparation time:

They will be allowed the morning off for an AS re-sit in the afternoon.

They will be allowed the afternoon off for an AS re-sit the following morning. They will be
allowed to sign out after period 4, at 1.15pm
An email will be sent with this letter together with notification of how to access the electronic
revision session schedule for AS when it is complete.
I, along with the rest of the Sixth Form Leadership Team, the Form Tutors and all of the subject
teachers, wish our students good luck with their revision and exam preparation. We hope that they
are successful in the summer.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING
Pupils who attend these revision sessions must sign in and out of school in reception. It is
their responsibility to ensure they note their time of arrival and departure in the book which
will be on a table immediately opposite the main entrance.
As is shown in the table above there are a number of revision sessions running on 4th –
5th April. Mrs Hornby-Walsh is running a joint Art and Fashion workshop for both subjects on
these days.
The Coursework deadline for both Art and Fashion is 27th April and this component makes
up 60% of the overall marks.
Exam Sketchbooks have to be complete and handed in during the first session of the 10
hour exam which starts in the first week back after the Easter holiday; and accounts for the
other 40% of the marks.
Pupil attendance of the English Language (4th April) and English Literature (5th April) revision
sessions is voluntary. Mrs Bissell will be running two sessions on both days; 9.00am till
12.00pm and 1.00pm till 3.30pm. If your child would like to attend they must book
themselves onto one of these sessions by seeing Mrs Bissell personally during the final
week of this term. The maximum number of pupils for each session will be 25 pupils. If a
pupil who is attending the Art or Fashion coursework workshop would like to go over the
topics and themes covered by Mrs Bissell in these revision sessions, they are welcome to
book an appointment with her immediately after the Easter holiday.
Mrs Bowker will be inviting pupils in to school to attend the French / German revision
sessions taking place on 5th, 6th and 7th April. These will run from 10.00am till 1.00pm. The
revision sessions will take the form of ‘drop ins’. Pupils can come into school to practise their
exam skills or complete a speaking and listening or written assessment in an effort to further
improve their overall grade.
Mr Early will be contacting pupils who he would like to attend his Spanish revision sessions
on Tuesday 29th March and Wednesday 30th March. Pupils who will be asked to attend these
sessions will work on controlled speaking and listening assessments.
Mrs Nash is running revision sessions for both year 11 and 12 pupils during the Easter
period. She will be contacting the parents of year 11 pupils who must attend these sessions
shortly, but all pupils who want additional tuition in the year 11 Child Development course
are welcome.
Mr Lewis will be running a revision session on 31st March from 9.00am till 12.00pm.
Computer Science pupils are welcome as are pupils who study GCSE ICT.
There are two drama preparations days taking place over the Easter period. Mrs Priestnall’s
class as expected to come into school on Thursday 7th April and Mrs Yeubrey’s class will
have their additional preparation day on Monday 4th April. Both these sessions begin at
10.00am and end at 3.00pm. The key purpose of these revision sessions is for pupils to
practise and further improve their performance pieces which will be assessed on
Wednesday 27th April.
Mr Bryan will be running the two Chemistry revision days on Thursday 7th and Friday 8th
April. The focus of the former will be on the C2 examination, the focus of the latter will be on
the C3 module.
Mr Roxburgh will be running a GCSE Music revision session for from 9.30am till 3.00pm on
Friday 8th April.
On Friday 8th April, Miss Twist will be running a coursework completion day for all year 11
pupils who are studying the Level 2 BTEC Science course. We encourage all of our year 11
pupils to attend.
I am also re-sending the revision schedule showing all of the revision sessions our
departments are currently running at school. I would be most grateful if you could continue to
encourage your child to attend these as part of their revision programme.
Finally, I would like to thank you for your support throughout this academic year. Your child’s
success is very much based upon the efforts of yourselves as parents, along with the hard
work of the child and the dedication of our teaching staff and support staff at Bishop Walsh
Catholic School. If you have any questions about the Easter revision sessions or how we
can further help your child in their final preparations for GCSE, please do not hesitate to
contact me at school. After Easter I will be sending you a letter outlining the plan for the
‘Collapsed Timetable’ initiative which will begin on Monday 16th May.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Henryk Koryl.
Vice Principal i/c Learning and Teaching
Bishop Walsh Catholic School.
