Tuesday 24 June 2008 Day School News Update Vocational Assessments – Monday 7th & Tuesday 8th July
All pupils will be taking part in Vocational Assessments on the following days:
Monday 7th July – Juniors, As & Bs.
Tuesday 8th July – Cs, Ds & Es.
The assessment will take place at The Novello Theatre, Sunninghill. All parents are warmly invited to come and watch the assessments. Parents stay for the duration of the assessments, which we expect to finish around 2.30pm. There will be a short lunch break. Pupils must bring a packed lunch and drink and are not permitted to leave the theatre.
Pupils must arrive at the theatre at 9.30am prompt. The assessments will begin at 10.00am. Coffee is available in the foyer for parents.
A list of uniform and requirements re props, music, hair etc will be issued to every child in due course.
Please note that the assessments are open to parents and staff only. Siblings, friends or other family members are not permitted.
Please note that pupils do not have to attend school on the day that they are not being assessed. Dance Exam Coaching/After School Club
Many pupils are currently taking part in additional after school coaching sessions to prepare for forthcoming dance exams. Often siblings or pupils with whom they share lifts are asked to wait at school while these lessons are taking place. Since the dance teachers cannot be responsible for pupils who are waiting, they must go to the After School Club where they will be supervised. There is a charge of £2.50 for attending After School Club.
Lockers.
From September, all pupils must have their own locker. You will find enclosed details of our locker hire scheme. Ballet Exams.
A letter has been sent home with all pupils who are taking ballet exams in October. This letter contains the dates of the exams and of the mock exams. Please make sure that you have received this letter. Monday 23 June 2008 Day School leavers I know I'm who I am today because I knew you. Our Day School leavers recently asked if they could give an assembly to mark their last day in school together. We had no idea what to expect. Redroofs does not give formal assemblies, but this was what the group wanted. It was as one might expect from the class of 2008, original, lively and worthwhile, and there were few dry eyes in the house by the end of the afternoon. They each wore the leavers sweatshirts they had had made, as did Mrs Cocksedge, our Academic Head who had been given one too as a parting present!
