Aidan Martin I would like to wish all Year 9 students and parents a fantastic Easter holiday and I look forward to pushing on in the Summer term. Mr Sinclair Head of Year 9 “I have really enjoyed Year 9 so far. It has allowed me to grow in confidence and take part in experiences that have been impelling and very pleasant. One subject I have especially enjoyed is art. I have worked with acrylic paint, clay and moving onto mono-printing. Also science has been exciting when doing experiments and history has been informative. All of my teachers are friendly, funny and cheerful most of the time! One point in Year 9 that has been different was the options. I liked this as it gave me the freedom to drop some subjects and choose two different and new ones to study. Year 9 has been enjoyable year so far and hopefully this will continue through the rest of my time here at Regents Park Community College”. Bethany Hurst - Year 9

Year 10 Spring has really sprung and Year 10 are heading towards their final term before the ‘business’ year begins in September. Students are studying hard and working towards their goals. It has been a busy term with Rock Challenge, skiing, Munich Head boy and Girl applications, interviews and final challenges, as well as keeping up with their studies. I would like to extend a warm welcome and congratulations to my new Assistant Head of Year, Mr Spencer. I know he is very excited about his new role within the year group and looks forward to working alongside many of you to continue to support your child as much as possible. I know I am very proud that over 70 parents received a positive letter home when teachers were asked to praise students who go ‘above and beyond’ in their

lessons. I really enjoy discussing positive achievements your children continue to do. As we look forward to next year there is so much to get done, GCSE’s and final exams are on the forefront of our mind, revision sessions (period 7s) information will be coming to you very soon so that you can support your child in making the decisions about revision. We will be starting motivational reports again very soon. The Head Boy and Girl will be working hard on supporting the school and ensuring next year runs smoothly with transition and achievement. Prom committee will also be starting with many places already scoped out for the biggest event in June next year, we will be writing to you at the beginning of September to let you know our plans. If you would like to have a head start of revision there are plenty of websites which will offer including, GCSEpod, Doddle, Maths Watch,

Pixl maths App, Pixl English app and Maths Genie. We are organising a school trip for the 6th September to Thorpe Park as a final ‘hooray’ before the hard work beginnings, letters for this trip will be coming out for this after Easter. Colleges are coming in to school to discuss future options as well as NCS who are offering great placements for summer 2019. Year 10 continue to be a massive credit to the school with maturity, kindness, and a passion for their education, I thank you for your continued support with Year 10. I wish you a happy, healthy and safe Easter break and look forward to seeing you in my personal favourite term, Summer term. Bring on that sunshine. Miss Bishop Head of Year 10
