Year 8 Sports Day
After a doubtful start and concerns about the weather the sun decided to shine on Wickersley for the year 8 sports day Thursday 11th June. The afternoon was a raving success and all who took part had a wonderful afternoon. The day was filled with tension as each form competed against each other in the hope of winning the overall crown. There were some excellent displays of athleticism, sportsmanship and general excitement. Well done to all those who took part. The final result finished 1st 8F, 2nd 8J, 3rd 8N.

GOOD TEACHERS, GOOD SCHOOLS - A book written by Mr Hudson
GOOD TEACHERS, GOOD SCHOOLS - (Price - £16.99)
How to create a successful school.
A word from Mr Hudson
I have thought for many years that good schools (and now we are an ‘outstanding’ school) understand the need to continually involve and inform all parents. Parents know their child better than any teacher and teachers usually know the child as a learner better than the parent. A partnership is therefore essential if the school is to be as effective as it can possibly be.
As I wrote my short book which outlines the philosophy and day to day practice that is central to this school, I had the needs of parents and students as well as teachers in mind. It is I’m told relatively easy to read and it will help you to be more proactive as people (including me) bombard you with information.
Should you want to purchase a copy of this book please contact my PA, Sue Weinrich, at school; or email sweinrich@wickersley.net; or purchase directly from Amazon by clicking here

Top Spellers
On Wednesday 6th May, four of our year 7 students took part in the local heats for the National Spelling Bee competition.
Amelia Wink-Simmonds, Georgia Robinson, Elizabeth Wright and Jordan Turner, attended the special event at the Odeon in Sheffield.
The team were selected following excellent results in spelling tests organised by the English department. They competed against ten other school during the heat, taking part in two activities.
The first activity was an individual round with each team member being asked to spell a number of words. If you answered a spelling incorrectly you were out of the game. Georgia Robinson made us all proud when she was one of the last three students still standing at the end of the game.
The next activity involved each team spelling as many words as possible in two minutes.
All team members had a good time and said that they had enjoyed the experience. They even plan to help Year 7 train for the event next year! The group received a special certificate for taking part and a goody bag.
Pictured are Jordan, Georgia, Amelia and Elizabeth who are WSSC’s Top Spellers.
