Well done to our Year 9 students who have complete

Well done to our Year 9 students who have completed their Brilliant Club Scholars Programme final assignments last week. The Brilliant Club is an award-winning university access charity that works with schools. Alongside Dr Tamsyn Frazer from the University of Sheffield they have been exploring how the study of zoo-archaeology information can help us to better understand our past.⠀
⠀
As well as completing tutorials and project work on top of their existing school work for the last few months, in this last week all the students below have completed a 15000 word final assignment from home – due in at midnight on Wednesday! The work that they have completed independently has been to a fantastic standard. This is part of our HEPPSY+ funded work in school and the students will eventually get to graduate at a special ceremony at The University of Sheffield.⠀
⠀
Huge well done to them all!⠀

Hi everyone!⠀
⠀
Thank you so much for supporting our efforts to help the most vulnerable members of our community, by donating items to make up our care packages.⠀
⠀
School will be closed over the Easter period (3rd April to 20th April), as we are joining up with other local schools for our Easter provision for the children of key workers, so we are unable to take donations during this time. We will reopen on 20th April and start-up our support network again.⠀
⠀
If anyone is in need during this time, the following organisations may be able to help:⠀

Year 8 Art students are currently making ceramic t

Year 8 Art students are currently making ceramic thumb pots inspired by the theme ‘Sea life’. The students have researched artists like Kate Malone and Carolyn Saxby to gain an understanding of the structure of the thumb pot and how textures of the sea can be transformed into 3D form. Students have used these textures and a range of sea creatures to decorate their thumb pots using a range of manipulated clay techniques.⠀
⠀
Some of our Year 8 students have been making individual technical paintings of animals and creatures linked to the theme ‘Jungle’. Here, students have heightened their painting skills by working from images of parrots.⠀
⠀
Well done to all our Y8 students and keep up the good work!⠀

The entirety of Year 8 pupils were recently involved in a three day Army team building workshop with Sgt Major Littlewood from the Catterick Barracks. The event ran from the 11th-13th March. This allows pupils to develop their leadership and communication skills whilst working in teams.⠀
Sgt Major Littlewood also spent time explaining the importance of broadening CV’s and developing life skills. Students learnt a great deal from the experience, whilst also having lots of fun along the way. 👏🏼⠀

The Year 5 students from Aston Hall primary school

The Year 5 students from Aston Hall primary school came to visit during science week (6-15 March). They learned about acids and alkali and then made their own indicator using red cabbage. They then tested household substances to see if they were acidic, alkaline or neutral. 🥼👩🏼‍🔬👨🏻‍🔬⠀
⠀
Some Year 12 A-level chemists also kindly gave up their free time to help the pupils, something great to write on their personal statement!⠀

Emma Cox and Kirsty Whitham have continued to support the community today by delivering even more care packages to the local community. ⠀
⠀
Guilthwaite Nurseries garden centre yesterday donated some flowers which have been handed out with our 24 care packages today. Our care packages have also contained milk and toilet roll.⠀
⠀
As we are still open for business, we have been trying to support the most vulnerable in our local community by providing care packages of food and essential items to those who cannot leave their homes. We are still accepting donations of these items, which will be distributed by our staff to local charities and the elderly and vulnerable. If you are passing our school on your way back from shopping, it would be great if you could drop off anything that you can spare.⠀
Reception is open 8.30-3.30, Monday to Friday.⠀

Last night’s government announcement: Boris John

Last night’s government announcement: Boris Johnson has announced a complete lockdown of the UK, instructing people not to leave their homes or meet in groups of more than two people. This is to further enforce social distancing measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.⠀
⠀
With this in mind, you must only send your child to school if it is absolutely essential. It is important that no student or member of staff should come to school that has not been scheduled to do so. Students that are due to attend school must only do so where no safe alternative is available. We strongly encourage parents to make alternative arrangements where possible to reduce contact with people outside of the family home and risk spreading the virus.⠀
⠀
We all need to play our part to keep ourselves safe and help reduce the strain on our local NHS services.⠀
⠀
Thank you for your ongoing support during this challenging time.

On Friday ELR Estate Agents in Wickersley brought us several bags of basic food items which we will be splitting between the Rotherham Food bank and the elderly of our community – thanks to ELR and to everyone who has pitched in to help the most vulnerable members of our community.⠀
⠀
Let’s look after each other in this crisis.⠀

Wickersley School continues to support the Communi

Wickersley School continues to support the Community with the help of local businesses. A big thanks to TKMaxx for donating a wealth of food and chocolates to the school’s food bank appeal to be distributed in the community. These were being delivered to families in need in the community last week: provisions have been sent to the hospice, care homes, the Rotherham homeless shelter, Rotherham food bank and our local church to be distributed as needed. Staff also raised £106 to donate to homeless charity.⠀
⠀
Thanks to all the staff for collecting, organising and distributing, and again to TKMaxx for thinking of us. @tkmaxxuk

Dear parents, ⠀ ⠀ There has been much confusio

Dear parents, ⠀
⠀
There has been much confusion on social media regarding whether schools are open and to whom. ⠀
⠀
From tomorrow, Wickersley School and Sports College is closed to all except a small number of students. ⠀
⠀
You should only send your child to school on Monday if absolutely necessary because your work is critical to the country’s COVID-19 response, and by prior arrangement with the school. ⠀
⠀
The school is only open as an emergency provision for the children of key workers where there is no safe alternative other than to send their child to school.⠀
⠀
By closing schools, the government is aiming to slow transmission of the virus. We can only do this if we keep the numbers of students and staff in schools to a bare minimum.
