Dear Parents and Carers
Welcome back to your children, it’s been nice to see them again and settle them back into school life. Thanks to them all, and you, for making such a positive start…they look great and are responding to our high expectations very well. Our new Year 7s are lovely, running around and getting lost but getting stuck into everything which is how it should be. It’s always nice to meet the Year 7 parents on the gate and watch as they try and hug their kids goodbye at the start of the day only for the child to bolt into school, completely ignoring their mum or dad because all parents are, of course, embarrassing.
I’d like to welcome all the parents of our new Year 12s this year. We know most of you of course but this year around 40% of our Year 12 are new to Myton and are making a great first impression over this week. It’s a record number of Year 12s for us and a sign of our flourishing success at Key Stage 5.
The big internal change this year is our new database, Bromcom, which replaces SIMS. It’s always fun and games when IT systems change and the team have been working hard to land Bromcom well. Please look out over the coming weeks for information about the parent app which will allow you to see your child’s timetable, attendance record etc. from home.
In a pleasant shift from recent years, there are no changes to the site layout this year. Our whole school new build project is underway but is at early stages currently, though I’m looking forward to the design phase which will start very soon. Work on site is unlikely this academic year so we can get into routines and keep them for the time being.
Our results in the summer were excellent at both GCSE and A level. As any other school, we always analyse and consider what we can do better and we are excited for what this year holds in store. The high expectations combined with the work we are doing on teaching, resourcing, AI etc. will raise attainment for all our students. Thanks for your support at the start of this year and I look forward to working with you over the coming months to continue this excellent start.
Best wishes
Andy Perry
