community. Attendance is incredibly important, as even one day missed, means six lessons lost, alongside valuable time to catch up with friends and build connections with staff and peers. Well done to all! Another exciting initiative this term, has been our tutor achievement point league, which has created a wonderful buzz across Year 7. Each week, the tutor group with the highest achievement points are awarded a box of chocolates - an absolute joy to hand out! Additionally, the top five students each week, receive a special Head of Year mention during assembly, recognising their hard work and positive contributions. These moments have been a fantastic way to celebrate the achievements of our students and inspire everyone to keep striving for success. Year 7 also embarked on their first ever residential trip to Tile Barn Activity Centre, a milestone that created memories to last a lifetime. Students embraced the adventure, staying overnight in wooden pods and taking part in a variety of activities, including abseiling, mountain biking, crate stacking and archery. Cooking s’mores around the campfire was a definite highlight, as was the laughter and camaraderie shared throughout the trip.

A Fantastic Start to Life at Regents Park Community College As we approach the end of the first term, we are delighted to celebrate the fantastic start our Year 7 students have made to life here at Regents Park. Since joining us in September, they have settled in brilliantly, embracing every opportunity to demonstrate our ethos values: Respect, Pride, Creativity and Challenge . We’ve had the pleasure of awarding so many ethos badges this term and it’s wonderful to see these being worn with such pride across the year group. The commitment shown by Year 7 to upholding our values, is a testament to their positive attitude and eagerness to thrive within our school community. A particular highlight, was seeing so many Year 7 students stepping up to help at our recent Open Evening. They acted as fantastic ambassadors for the school, confidently leading tours and speaking to prospective parents about their experience so far. Two of our students even joined Mrs Barnes during the Headteacher’s address, impressing parents with their articulate reflections on life at Regents Park. Year 7 have also achieved the highest attendance in the school, a fantastic accomplishment that highlights their dedication to learning and being an active part of the Regents Park

More recently, I led the newly formed Year 7 rugby team to the Hampshire Schools Development Festival. The team displayed fantastic determination, scoring numerous tries, making impressive tackles and breaking through lines with confidence. It was a day full of fun and teamwork and I was incredibly proud of their performance. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all Year 7 students and their families for their continued

support. The dedication, enthusiasm and resilience

shown by the students make me immensely proud to lead the year group.
