The Grange School

Do you have questions after collecting your GCSE results yesterday? You can find Mrs Kittles, our Careers Advisor, & Mr Sabin in the Sixth Form Study Centre between 10am & 12pm today (23/08/24). You can also sign up for our Sixth Form during this time. https://ow.ly/EMZX50T3S8T

Staff and Governors at The Grange would like to congratulate and celebrate the achievements of their Year 11 students who have received their results today. All performance indicators continue to improve, and we thank this year’s cohort for achieving wonderful results.

Headteacher, Vince Murray, said “We have high expectations here at The Grange and this year’s results reflect the continuous improvement of the school and the ambition of our students to value their education and achieve well. The smiles and tears of joy that have been seen in school are a result of the hard work, enthusiasm and drive of both our students and staff in achieving excellent results.”

Students set themselves high aspirations and worked hard to achieve the necessary performance for their next steps. Many will return to the 6th Form at The Grange but for those moving onto other educational establishments and the workplace, we wish them every success for the future.

Many students will be delighted with their results and secure in their next steps. The school remains committed to those students who may not have achieved what they were hoping for or remain unsure of what lies ahead. Staff are here to help and support in ensuring that our students obtain their next steps.

Everyone at The Grange hopes that students enjoy their achievements of the day and continue to apply themselves in securing continued success. Congratulations, you smashed it!

Back to Fistral Beach yesterday morning for our Watersports Students for some Beach Games & Body Boarding.

They are all now home safe and sound, in need of a good rest but tons of memories made 💖 and a long summer break to look forward to 🌞

Thank you as always to the staff for giving up their first part of their holidays to make it happen: Mrs Bradley, Mr Dharsey & Miss Sullivan. You deserve a good rest too!

Day 3 of Watersports 2024:

✔️Kayaking
✔️Raft Building
✔️BBQ on the Beach

What a team they are - all different ages but together 'THEY CAN' 👏

What does staff training look like at The Grange?

Last week, teaching and support staff were required to attend a 90 minute session after school delivered by Dylan Williams 😁😁

Dylan Williams is well known in the Education Sector and is a professor of Education Assessment and is based at the UCL Institute of Education.

We were fortunate to have Dylan join us virtually from Florida in the US to deliver a session on 'embedding formative assessment'. ✔️❌

We look forward to developing our practice further to improve outcomes through evidence based research for our students 🧒

With another school year done, look back at what we've been up to in the last half term in the latest Grange Gazette. Available now on our website! https://ow.ly/1lCf50SFWCP
