Headteacher: Mr Oli de Botton Middle School NewsletterTo our Middle School Community, As the cold weather closes in, the Middle School community settles in for a fantastic second half of the Autumn Term. This week saw new projects launch in Year 7 and Year 8, immersive theatre linked with English for Year 6 and plans for saving the world with robotics in Year 5. Curriculum: Curriculum overviews will be sent home half-termly and will update on the website accordingly. See below for the link to the overviews for this half term. Parental Engagement: We are looking into building up opportunities for parents and families to become more involved in our Middle School over the year. We look forward to running more community events like the Film Nights in the short term, and building on our successful start. Ideas are very welcome! We look forward to welcoming parents and carers to our first Parents’ Evenings coming up towards the end of November. See below for further information on booking a slot. Ms Kyrk
