Excited for the book launch of ‘ELSS Pupil Writing’ at the Choosing Knowledge Conference tomorrow. Our contribution to the wider discussion around academic writing. Come and meet the writers! @elss_freeschool@eclectictrains
A variety of books being read in the IU this morning. Jane Eyre, 1984, The Magician's Nephew (The Chronicles of Narnia) and Holes. A positive response to the recent World Book Day.
A busy day in the IU today! Scatter Graphs, Inequalities, Ancient Greece, Sixth Form Mentoring, Organic Chemistry, Animal Farm, Jane Eyre, Macbeth and a few other bits too! Pupils from Year 7-11 working hard! @elss_freeschool
Brilliant to watch Zak (Y9) give a presentation of his Photography project in assembly. Conflict photography looking at Neil Leifer's photo of Ali and Liston. Well done Zak! #boxing#photography#art
Very excited Year 11s at @The_Globe to see ‘Romeo and Juliet’. The timing is uncanny with GCSE English Literature in 2 months time!@elss_freeschool
What a team performance! The borough futsal champions! Massive congratulations to our boys & Adam for picking up the Player of the tournament award! Thanks to Kingsford for hosting #futsal#newham 🏆🥇
Our mentoring scheme with @ELSS_sixthform is now timetabled and up and running! Extra support in Maths, the Sciences and reading. Each IU pupil will receive 3 sessions a week with a mentor. Huge thanks to Miss.Bearsmore-Rust and the 6th Form Pupils.
IU pupils past and present were joined by @J_Copestake and members of Leakey for a Biology lesson @zsllondonzoo today. We were looking at habitat, prey, predators, food chains and adaptations. Great experience and excellent behaviour from our pupils.
Received this email from Mr Gadil (History) regarding a pupil who has rejoined their class this week:
"I taught X today in History and he really impressed me. He has improved greatly in his behavior and attitude towards his learning and was a real pleasure to teach." #progress
It's been great watching @ELSS_sixthform take part in "Beyond 18" this week. Guest speakers sharing advice & information on university options & applications, apprenticeships & future careers. Well done @jasonsmith17 and all involved. It's been a great example to our IU pupils
Some end of HT3 stats from the IU:
- every pupil has made an improvement of at least 20% in Maths
- all pupils improved in Biology, Chemistry and Physics
- scores of over 50% in subjects such as Latin, PE & Geography
- three pupils returning to mainstream in HT4
