YEAR 13 HISTORIC DOCKYARD TRIP On Friday the Year 13 History classes took a trip to the Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth which promised to be an unforgettable experience, immersing the students in maritime history, the significance of naval power in British heritage and being a particularly important section of their A levels. Upon arrival, the group was greeted by the impressive sight of HMS Victory, Admiral Nelson's flagship during the Battle of Trafalgar. The students roamed through the ship's decks, marveling at the intricate craftsmanship and learning about its storied past. Guided by knowledgeable staff, they were captivated by tales of heroism and strategy that shaped British naval dominance, making history come alive in a way that textbooks could never achieve. Mr Summers can be seen here struggling with the steep stairs in a 260 year old ship! After exploring HMS Victory, the students moved on to HMS Warrior, a Victorian warship that represented a significant leap in naval technology. As they stepped aboard this hybrid ironclad marvel, they were struck by the contrasts between the wooden warship they had just visited and this steam-powered giant. The interactive exhibits and informative displays deepened their understanding of advancements in naval design and warfare strategies of the 19th century. Engaging in discussions about the evolution of the Royal Navy, the students reflected on the broader implications of naval power in global history, leaving the Historic Dockyard with enriched perspectives and memories they would carry with them in their A level exams, and long after they leave Glyn. #historydockyard #portsmouth @phdockyard @glynsixthform #historytrip

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

On November 11, our school community gathered to honour Remembrance Day, a solemn occasion to remember those who have sacrificed, and continue to sacrifice, so much. As a school, we have lost 33 former Glyn students to war, and each year, we remember them. Their names are proudly engraved on our memorial to acknowledge the profound sacrifices they made for their country, friends, and loved ones. The significance of this day and the values of respect resonate deeply throughout our school. Our Year 9 students made us incredibly proud, demonstrating exceptional attentiveness, solemnity, and respect during the service. Their courtesy and thoughtful engagement were truly admirable. All of our students showed a deep understanding and respect as they paid tribute to those who have served and continue to serve with admirable sincerity. We are proud to celebrate the remarkable young people our students are becoming. Their actions reflect their character, empathy, and awareness of the world around them. #remembranceday #ww1 #surrey #surreyschools #epsom @glfschools #lestweforget🌹
