Year 10 students should have received a letter about the GCSE fieldtrip to the north Norfolk coast in April 2014. Although some way off, it is essential that reply slips and monies are collected quickly. There is a deadline for deposits (£40) by the 18th October 2013. It would be much appreciated if parents could ensure this money is sent into school by this date. The entire cost of the trip is £140. You may, of course, pay the entire amount in one go if you wish. You may pay in cash, cheque or use the on-line school ParentPay system. Should you require financial assistance, I would urge you to get in touch ASAP.
We have travelled to the Kingswood centre in Overstrand for many years. It is a great place to study coastal environments. The fieldtrip is essential for students as they will use the information collected to write a piece of controlled assessment about how this stretch of coastline is distinctive. As a result of recent changes to the GCSE course, the controlled assessment is now worth 25% of the final grade.

What is Sustainable development?
Find out more about Sustainable development from these sites
Eco Schools!
You may or may not be aware that the government would like all schools to be sustainable by the year 2020 (see the video on sustainability above. There is another video below about practical things we can do to reduce climate change)
You can find out being sustainble means for schools by clicking on this link.
So....what is a sustainable school?
A sustainable school prepares young people for a lifetime of sustainable living, through its teaching and its day-to-day practices. It is guided by a commitment to care:
• For ourselves (out health and well-being)
• For others (across cultures, distances and generations) and
• For the planet (both locally and globally
A Sustainable School puts a high value on the well-being of its pupils and the school environment. We aim to:
• Waste little and recycle, compost or donate anything surplus
• Support local suppliers where possible
• Perhaps collect rainwater for schools ground maintenance and
• Have a zero tolerance approach to litter, graffiti and bullying.
• Save electricity and gas
• Reduce water waste.
• Look at using renewable energy resources.
If making sure the school is sustainable and doing the best it can for the environment is something that interests you then you should join the school eco team. Speak to Mrs Whewell or Mrs Pointon (go to main reception to ask for them) or go to the next meeting of the Eco group
