UCAS Progress

Thank you very much to the five people who have recently paid and sent - everyone else applying through UCAS this year, please do the same before 6th November.  Just a reminder that paying and sending gets the form to Cheney and that we then forward it to UCAS with references, which you will see before they go. There is going to be a big rush just before the deadline but we will get your forms sent on as quickly as possible.  We will do our best to get your form sent on within 10 working days, though as I mentioned in an earlier blog post, we may take 15 in the immediate aftermath of 6th November when there will be a very large number of applicants.  The earlier you pay and send the better - we can always send your form back to you if there is a mistake - you can send it back to us again without paying twice.  I hope that is all clear - see your PL or me if you have any questions.

Sixth Form Library Use: Closure During Certain Lessons

The Library will be closed at these times because:  
a)      The Yr 7s need to use the seating space & the computer space for their reading scheme.
b)      We don’t want the Sixth Form to be disturbed by the Yr 7s.
c)      We don’t want the Yr 7s to be disturbed by the Sixth Form.
 
Generally the behaviour of the Sixth Form in the Library is good: thank you. However, there have been some examples of Sixth Formers eating, using poor language or using the computers inappropriately, & this makes it harder for staff to teach younger students how to behave well in the Library. Please help us to keep the Library as a pleasant place to study.
 
Thanks, Mrs Marsh

Quantitative Chemistry coursework, Year 13

Apologies again for the practical issues this morning.  I'm very happy to let you know that we have just solved the mystery and replaced the dodgy chemical with some good stuff.  As ever the technicians have gone above and beyond to help us sort this out so please do thank them if you see them this week (hint, hint, hint).

13e, I would like to arrange a time for you to do your quantitative before the end of the week.  The simplest time would be on Wednesday after the early finish.  I realise this is your free time but after gaining a free today and if I can get cover for tutor time, you would only have lost half an hour of your own time. Please come and see me/email me if you're unhappy with this plan.

13b we can go ahead as planned - evaluative tomorrow morning and quant on Friday morning.
