Year 11 students at Parkside Studio College achieved excellent GCSE, BTEC and VTCT results. Students have shown resilience throughout the year and their grades reflect the hard work and dedication that they put in. Parkside’s excellent and committed team of teachers have been really supportive and the extra timetabled sessions that were offered to provide boosters for all students before, after and during breaks have also helped our students to achieve success. Some of our successes are shown in the tables included on the PDF below:
On Wednesday 7th September, Year 11 students from Parkside Studio College and De Salis Studio College ventured out to the very impressive International Hotels Group (IHG) headquarters in Denham to take part in an interview skills workshop as part of their Giving for Good initiative. Students were able to participate in a series of interview skills masterclasses with each session hosted by a team of highly skilled industry specialists.
The students were able to explore what makes a good interview, how to maximise interpersonal skills and what attributes should be highlighted on CV’s and how they should always follow through their relevant examples when answering questions. A thoroughly enjoyable experience was had and we are extremely grateful to the International Hotels Group (IHG) for making us feel so welcome and for giving up their time to support our students in becoming ready for the world of work.
The news of the death of the Queen last week was a significant moment for all of us. On Friday morning all the Schools and Colleges in the Trust showed their respect to mark the beginning of the national period of mourning in various ways. Pupils and students reflected on the Queens’ life and in particular over 70 years, her service to our nation.
Following the announced date of the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II, the Trust and each of its Schools and Colleges will close to mark this historic occasion on Monday 19th September 2022. The Rosedale Hewens Academy Trust will be open as usual over the next week through the national mourning period.
We understand that during this period of mourning, some of our students may experience their own sense of loss and grief both for the Queen and for people close to them that are no longer with us. If you believe your child may need some additional support at this time please do not hesitate to contact their form tutor.
On Friday 26th August, a representative from Brunel University came in to set up a lunchtime stall for students to explore various programmes, criteria, costs and financial support that would be available to them if they chose to go to university after college or sixth form. Students found the session to be informative and were keen to ask lots of questions!
“Your voice, your choice!” was the sentiment echoed where six candidates for Head Boy and Head Girl shared their manifestos.
