WINNERS OF THE YOUNG WRITER'S NATIONAL COMPETITION Last year, our talented students in 8 Carew and 9HI took on the challenge of the Young Writer's National Competition, crafting incredible mini-sagas of no more than 100 words. Their entries were nothing short of fabulous, with many being selected for publication. Last week, we received even more fantastic news – our school has been named School Winners of the competition, earning a £100 National Book Voucher for our school library! A massive well done to everyone who participated – your creativity and hard work have truly paid off! If you'd like to get involved in future writing competitions, see Ms Fitzpatrick in E8 or join our Writing Club on Mondays after school. Let’s keep the creativity flowing! #youngwriters #competition #welldone #amazingresults @glfschools @glfschoolsfoundation

Mrs Hartnett has said 'Alfie is an absolutely fantastic student; he frequently helps staff and students in understated, subtle ways - continually being kind, helpful and supportive in ways that he may think go unnoticed, but they don't. I wish we could clone you, Alfie! You are a STAR!' Arjun P (7C) was also commended for his incredible endeavour. Arjun contributes, literally, EVERY lesson. His comments are insightful, thoughtful, reflective and demonstrate how much close attention he pays to lessons and to other students and their comments. Well done, Arjun!

COOKING WITH THE ROYAL NAVY The Year 10 Food Tech students spent the morning with two Royal Navy officers, Leon and Jason, where they learnt about possible career paths within the Navy. The students were then asked to compete in a ready steady cook competition, where they had to make a burger and chips with a sticky toffee pudding and a toffee sauce in 1 hour and 15 minutes. All groups did extremely well and were very enthusiastic about the competition. Well done to all students, and congratulations to Jude W, Aaron D, Lokesh D and Aaron D for winning the competition.

Parent Survey Our aim is to give children and young adults the best possible start in life. To do this, we aim to run great schools for our communities of pupils, parents and staff. Please help us understand how well we are doing, and how we can do even better by sharing your views in the Stakeholder Voice Survey for Parents. Our parent and carer survey gives you the opportunity to express your views on how well we support your child’s learning and personal development and how we communicate with you. Our goal is for you to have your say and have your voice heard, so that we can create the best learning environment for your child. You can find the link to the survey in this week’s bulletins. Please note that the survey will be open until the 2 December. Surveys will take 20-30 minutes to complete and need to be completed in one sitting. Please note, your responses will be anonymous, so please be open. Thank you for your support and views. If you have any questions or concerns, please be in touch. We look forward to your feedback! #survey #parentsurvey #haveyoursay #voice @glfschools
