Weekly Updates from The Island VI Form

We are now hurtling towards the end of January. It is hard to believe we only have two weeks left of this half-term. When students arrive back after the February half-term we will be in the midst of exam season.  First with the Year 13 mock exams before the actual end of year exams.

Last week we had Kooth in to offer some advice on strategies to use in difficult situations. 

Next week on Tuesday 3rd February at 10.45am will have our first lockdown drill. Last week I gave information as to why it is important that we have such drills. On Monday in tutor time students will be given advice as to what to do during a lockdown drill.

On Thursday 5th February we also have our bingo event from 6.30pm. This is in aid of raising money for our Mozambique trip. All are welcome to attend, and it will be in the main hall. 

As always, please can we ensure our attendance is as high as possible, every lesson counts.  It is vital that, where possible, we make sure we turn up to lessons.

Have a lovely weekend

Phil Pearce-Jones - Head of School

The Isle of Wight Parent Carer Forum (IWPCF) is a parent-led organisation representing families of children and young people aged 0–25 with Additional Needs, also known as Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND).

The IWPCF works with the Local Authority and Integrated Care Board to represent parent carers’ views in decisions about services across Health, Education, and Social Care. They are not a support or campaigning group.

They would like to hear from parent carers about their experiences of local support and services. Please take a few moments to share your feedback by scanning the QR code on the poster or using the link provided.
