CHAUNCY ARTWORK OF THE WEEK: POPPY HADDOW (10 ASH)
In a new weekly feature we will be awarding a virtual Art Certificate to the best piece of work submitted by one of our students.
This week's award goes to Poppy Haddow in Year 10.
Poppy has created an excellent pencil study of a section of orange. Refining her drawing skills using the grid technique for accuracy, this study will be a great addition to her natural forms project.

QUALIFICATIONS UPDATE - 03.04.2020
We have now received information for schools, students and parents on how qualifications will be graded and awarded in summer 2020, the details of which can be accessed here:
www.gov.uk/government/publications/gcses-as-and-a-level-awarding-summer-2020
In summary:
- Grades will be awarded by schools, based upon advice from exam boards.
- Grades will be moderated by exam boards working with Ofqual, the exams regulator.
- Schools will not be permitted to share grades with students or parents.
- Students are not required to submit further work as evidence and schools should not be asking for this.
No action is required at this point as we take time to consider the guidance and how to implement it.
In addition Ofqual have published a message for all GCSE, AS and A level students this summer. You can find this message here:

CHAUNCY MEMORIES: CLASS OF 2001 - 2008
We said goodbye to our Year 13 students in May 2008. What are they up to now?
In these testing times it is great to see people posting light hearted and inspirational material on social media. I have been tidying up hard drives as we move towards putting everything on Google Classroom and have unearthed a treasure trove of classic photos and videos from the last 20 years. Where time permits, I will post some of these Chauncy memories from the last 20 years to entertain and amuse.
