Exam Week

It is Exam week this week for Year 11 - maths and English GCSE exams are taking place. Good luck to everyone!

Shakespeare Festival

Well done to all of our pupils who performed and helped behind the scenes at tonight's performance of A Midsummers Nights Dream. The performance was entertaining and the students received some excellent feedback from the festival director. Another outstanding production by Mr Denny!

Students performed in front of a large audience and were lucky to experience the feel of a live performance in a proper theatre. Everyone played their part with gusto and a good and exciting evening was had by all!

Year 5 Open Evening

This week is a busy time at Newman. On Monday we have our year 11 leavers ceremony at 11.30 in the main school hall. All Year 11's are welcome.

June 24th is our Open Evening. School will be open from 4.30 - 8.30pm for visitors to have a walk around our lovely school and meet friendly pupils and staff. Everyone is welcome so why not come down and have a look around?

Back to school tomorrow everyone! Just a few more weeks to the summer holidays - lots happening this half term, Big Day Out, exams, Sports Award Dinner to name but a few. Keep checking the website for key dates

Year 11

Just a reminder that there is no study leave for any students who are sitting external exams. All classes are running and there are lots of revision activities prepared for the students. Even if you have sat your exam in the subject you are still expected to attend the lesson and use the time to revise for other subjects until you have completed your last exam. Newman believes that the best revision is structured and organised by the school. It gives the students the opportunity to discuss problems with their teacher and allows pupils access to resources. Exams seem to be going well for both Year 11 and Sixth Form.

Tuesday's blog

English lit exam today went well! In order to help students revise fully for their exams there is no study leave. Students are expected to attend all lessons until the date of their last exam. Year 11 prom is on 30th June and tickets are on sale now.

It's been a busy week at Newman. We held a year girls in engineering day which was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Fund raising activities have been held to raise money for Eden Valley Hospice and staff have been busy writing reports for Years 8 & 10. One more busy week until half term!

GCSE examinations started today. We are now in exam mode for the next month. All students have been issued with an examination timetable and there are lots of revision classes happening in all subjects.

Thursdays news

Year 13

Today we held a farewell mass for our Year 13 leavers. The mass was led by Father Barron which was then followed by a lovely buffet for both staff and pupils. Tomorrow we conclude our leaver celebrations with a meal at Giannis. We wish all our Year 13 leavers well for the future.
