GCSE Geography Field Study 2018 Trip
– May 24, 2018
Dates of travel: Friday 16th November to Sunday 18th November 2018.
Trip Information
Launch letter (May 2018) (please read this in conjunction with the message below)
—-
Thank you to parents and carers who have paid the deposit and returned the reply slip for the trip to Kingswood Field Studies Centre in Overstrand, Norfolk from Friday 16 November to Sunday 18 November 2018. I am pleased to say that half of our GCSE students are already committed to attending the trip.
The skills and content covered during our time at the centre and at the locations nearby will provide an invaluable element of your child’s learning for GCSE Geography with 30% of the final GCSE grade being awarded for the ‘Applied Fieldwork’ exam. I cannot overstate the benefits this trip will have in terms of final GCSE grade.
If you would like your child to attend, please download the Launch Letter, complete the reply slip and return this to school as soon as possible. We have extended the deadline for deposits to Friday 15th June (this is also the due date for the second payment towards the trip).
If you would like to discuss the trip further, please do not hesitate to contact me via email to jtm@brockington.leics.sch.uk. Additionally, you may wish to view the website for the specialist Field Studies Centre in Overstrand, Norfolk that we will be visiting: http://www.kingswood.co.uk/centres/overstrand-hall.

April & May 2018 Bulletin
– May 23, 2018
“I hope that everyone is enjoying the current sunny spell , which clearly signals the start of the exam period!
We have been really pleased with the commitment shown by the Year 11 pupils in their first week of exams. So many of them have been into school before the morning exams to take advantage of some last minute revision with their teachers. Equally, their professionalism within the exam venues has made us all very proud to date. Good luck to all the Year 11 pupils for the remainder of the exam season.”

Formation of Embrace Multi-Academy Trust
– May 22, 2018
FORMATION OF EMBRACE MULTI-ACADEMY TRUST
As you will recall, we undertook a consultation exercise with stakeholders in November 2017 around our involvement in the formation of a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT). This in turn led to our governing body passing a resolution to become a founding member of Embrace MAT. As a result, along with our MAT partners, we submitted a bid to the Department of Education (DfE) to request permission to form Embrace MAT.
We are delighted to inform you that the DfE has granted permission for all 7 schools involved in our partnership to form Embrace MAT. Given that this follows our first and only application, the view of the DfE towards Embrace MAT is clearly very positive. We are aware that other MAT applications have been rejected, with a request that further work is carried out across the schools.
