Dear Parent/Carer
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have reluctantly taken the decision to direct one year group to Virtual Learning, Monday 7 February.
Year 9 students should not attend school for face-to-face teaching on Monday 7 February.
Mr C Foreman
Headteacher
Last week our students visited London to see an immersive production of Great Gatsby.
Cast members came out to chat with our students after the show. Apparently, this rarely happens. A measure of how impressed the cast were by the engagement of our students in the immersive show. https://t.co/WBGb19OY6v
Happy New Year
I hope that you had an enjoyable and relaxing break.
I am delighted to confirm that all years will return to school on Tuesday 4 January, as planned. https://t.co/JPtXy6tIqI
The Lenham School hosted a visit from Mark Lowery, the award-winning Children's Book Author of Charlie and Me: 421 miles from home and Eating Chips with Monkey among many others. Mark delivered an inspiring reading and writing workshop with all the year 7s today. https://t.co/oSOkYRei5H
Keeping my fingers crossed in hope of fine weather on Wednesday. Students and staff are looking forward to our first Open Evening since 2019. https://t.co/uCPM59Nk0j
This week we were pleased to offer a warm welcome to our guest book author.
Bali Rai writes stories inspired by his working class Punjabi/Sikh background, but his aim was always that his writing should be enjoyed by readers everywhere, irrespective of class or culture. https://t.co/hIj4z0qI4y
Day three of Summer School and students have settled into both academic and enrichment activities including inter-tutor group sports events at lunchtime.
Working hard on a Mathematics problem, designing a cardboard chair and learning a foreign language: https://t.co/DCXVEoooDO
We are pleasedthat students are celebrating strong level 3 Vocational and IB Diploma results with 83% of students achieving the highly respected International Baccalaureate Career Related Pathway and 100% pass rates in both the IB Diplomas and the vocational qualifications. https://t.co/taCvSsgaB5
What a difference a day makes.... sunshine, warmth and increasingly confident students.
I enjoyed watching the next generation of Master Chefs as they considered the importance of breakfast... https://t.co/xGyoTg3ylU
Despite arriving in torrential rain we had a superb first day at Summer School.
Here are some of my favourite pieces of work from the Art session this afternoon. Students used their iPads to create images from a journey: https://t.co/AwEdLV0dEM
If you have already been issued with your iPad, Summer School is a fantastic opportunity to start exploring how it can support your learning.
Please remember to bring it fully charged! https://t.co/ekLfHSVgUb
A fantastic last day of term shared with staff and students.
A celebration of reaching the end of a challenging year.
A celebration of the talents and successes of our students.
Thank you for your support this year.
Have a safe and relaxing summer and see you in September. https://t.co/fFNuGSHVQ5

Year 11 had a fantastic day at Thorpe Park on Friday. Thank you to our staff who were brave enough to accompany our students on all of the rides... https://t.co/kR3BqwdQsC
A welcome break from studies as we prepared for the Year 11 school photograph.
I continue to be impressed by their positive attitude and determination to succeed.
We did all manage to look the same direction and hold the pose....eventually. https://t.co/53hf9vz6a2

I would like to thank the 'Testing Team' for their superb work over the past two weeks.
They in turn would like to thank our students for the positive way they conducted themselves during the testing process. https://t.co/5ObtpzKLps
Just look at our Year 9 Catering student Lee's amazing pastry work!
What a talent - and a possible future contestant for @BritishBakeOff#GBBO perhaps? https://t.co/MguXNxC0tI
I would like to thank students, parents and teachers for their support. I feel very proud of our achievements in keeping students and staff safe whilst delivering quality teaching and learning. I wish everyone a safe and healthy Christmas and the very best for 2021. https://t.co/JwuONXEO7p
Everyday I am privileged to see creativity and enthusiasm from our students. This piece of work was completed at home and yesterday was presented in an English lesson:
1950s Middle Class House, Blood Brothers. James, Year 8. https://t.co/zYzVHhTTPm
What a fantastic response from our students today. They are enjoying their Virtual School day and the flexibility to work on many different subjects and tasks: https://t.co/aHHTzlhpLp
On the subject of achievement, we held our annual awards ceremonies this week. A digital souvenir of these events will soon be available for students and parents/carers: https://t.co/ZVzHQgq0pD
We have now completed our third week of Term 2 with the majority of students enjoying uninterupted learning. We know that the remaining weeks until Christmas will continue to be challenging but I am very proud of what our students and staff have so far achieved.
We would like to thank everyone for their continued support. Another very productive week almost navigated. I have been speaking with many students and they really appreciate being able to come to school and engage with their learning. Have a wonderful and safe week-end.
You will receive a progress report for your child later today. Please take time to view our supporting video designed to fully explain our new assessment and reporting strategy.

When we returned from Lockdown 1.0 we worked with each student to complete a Personal Learning Plan (PLP). This was designed to catch-up any lost learning identified in the end of year assessments.
They have completed their PLPs and were presented with completion certificates. https://t.co/hZj98pGoV0
What a pleasure it has been to see our students again.
Thank you for ensuring that your child attends school with a face mask. Remember to keep the mask clean or renew it if disposable.
Please remind students that they must wear the mask when they are not in a classroom.
Tomorrow is such an important day for staff and students at The Lenham School with the start of our academic year.
Year 7 students will join us on Thursday and Friday
Year 12 students will join us on Friday.
All students will be in school, full-time from Monday 7 September. https://t.co/uBYTJc825H
