Read all about us! 17/6/2009

We were recently approached by the Braintree and Witham Times who asked if they could run a full page spread about what our students get up to both inside the classroom and out.

The interesting twist was that the students must write the article themselves and provide a high quality photo to accompany it.  With a tight deadline and strict guidelines to follow, over 20 students rose to the occasion and submitted an article.

The final five articles that feature in the paper (available from Wednesday 17^th June) were…

• "A helping hand" by Sarah Chown.
• "Parlez-vous Anglais" by Becky Waller
• "Notley Wind Band, you’re hired"... (Read More)

Well - where are the prom photos then? All Finished! 8/5/2009

Prev | Next

I've had several students asking where the prom photos are and when they will all be available.

Well, to use a well worn phrase beloved by companies on Watchdog we were a "victim of our own success" in that we took 4600 photos on the night! It's taken a few days but all the photos are now available on our prom website http://prom.notleyhigh.com.

PLEASE NOTE: The shots on the site are UNEDITED. They might include parts of the background supports, doors, other people etc. Any ordered photos will be recropped, colour balanced and resized to remove (as much as possible) such unwanted parts of the photos.

Anti-bullying Website Launched 24/4/2009

Students worried about bullying, drugs and other issues can now report incidents online.

We are the first school in Essex to become part of a nationwide online anti-bullying and information sharing network. The SHARP System - or School Help Advice Reporting Page - allows pupils to provide confidential and anonymous information about any incidents they feel unable to talk about face-to-face. It will be reported to the school, and if appropriate, PC Anna Collins, the safer schools partnership officer.

The website also has information for pupils, parents and residents about issues that may affect young people such as bullying, alcohol, drugs and hate crime.

Braintree Sixth Form Funding and Offers of Places 17/4/2009

Prev | Next

You may have seen an article on the front page of the Braintree and Witham Times this week suggesting that changes in LSC funding might mean that offers of places at the Braintree Sixth Form could be withdrawn.

I would like to reassure anyone who read this article and is concerned that this is not the case. All current offers of places at the Braintree Sixth Form remain valid and no-one will lose their place as a result of changes in our funding.

Mr Gask, our Chair of Governors, has written to the Braintree and Witham Times to set the record straight and his letter is available to download by clicking... (Read More)
