Regents Review Spring 2025 26

The Regents Review Spring 2026

WELCOME Headteacher’s Welcome

During student voice meetings, students have mentioned that they are enjoying the new resources and in particular the additional challenge that the United Learning curriculum promotes. As I write this today, Regents Park continues to be as vibrant and busy as always. Over the last week we have celebrated another fabulous Cultural Day with many activities and some of the most wonderful outfits. Year 11 have been immersed in our Focus Fortnight with exam feedback lessons, rewards for resilience and tonight we will celebrate our first ever Festival of Revision. As always, our swimming pool is full of students from our local primary schools learning the essential life skill of swimming. Saints Foundation are on site running interventions and this afternoon our student leaders will continue their exciting programme on leadership. As we enter the last term of the year, I would like to say a couple of farewells. Mr Grant, Head of Year 9 Support, is leaving us at the end of the week and we wish him well. Mrs Green left us this term to move onto a promotion as Head of Food Technology and we wish her well and she cooks up some treats in a new kitchen. Our new food technology teacher has now taken over creating delightful dishes in our state of the art food room - welcome to Mrs Snoddon. We welcome back Mrs Dahl. During Mrs Dahl’s maternity leave, Miss Cole has worked tirelessly to look after the year group, I am extremely grateful that she stepped in to support the year group and I know the students and staff would all agree she has done a great job, thank you. Wishing all staff and students a restful holiday and I look forward to welcoming you all back for another busy and vibrant summer term. Thank you for your ongoing support as part of our Regents Park Community. Mrs Barnes Headteacher

Welcome to another bumper edition of The Regents Review, with some new additions including a fantastic article on the Year 10 work experience and an update on our student leadership focus. Preparing our students for the wider world of work is an essential part of our enrichment programme and it has been so rewarding to talk to students about their new found confidence. Our Spring 2026 edition also includes a fantastic capture from every department and every year group in the school. Our RPCC library goes from strength to strength and with World Book Day and our celebrations on the National Year of Reading, students have so many opportunities to get involved to improve their reading skills. The section on exams returns again and whilst it may seem that this is for Year 11 students, it is helpful for every year group to capture some top tips. As we prepare to launch the Summer term, do not miss out on our page on the summer extracurricular activities that form part of our enrichment programme this year - it includes a huge selection of clubs and classes, something for everyone on page 43. This time last year, we opened our new state of the art Fitness Suite, which has proved a very popular addition to our amazing Physical Education curriculum. This has been one of the many school improvements that we have made over the last five years and I know from talking to the students they really value the investment that we have made in modernising their school. In addition to improvements with our resources, food, enrichment and the school environment, I have enjoyed talking to students about their progress in lessons. Since joining United Learning, staff and students have benefitted from a wide range of opportunities. Staff now have direct access to subject advisers, who are regularly visiting the school to ensure that we continue to offer the very best curriculum to every student.
