Year 9 Parents' Evening - Thursday 5 May 2022
You are now able to book both in person and online meetings with teachers of Year 9 students. These meetings are very important, especially as this is your opportunity to discuss the suitability of GCSE choices with your child's teachers. Please see the video below from Head of Student Progress, Ms Robson about the importance of these meetings.
The in-person appointments will run from 3.30 - 5 and online appointments will be from 5.30 - 7.30.
Both appointments can be booked using SchoolCloud which you log into using parent and child information. Ms Broom has created a video with screenshots of the booking process for both in-person and online meetings.

cheney book canon - year 9 choice
Northern Lights by Philp Pullman
Winner of the 1995 CILIP Carnegie Medal.
His ‘Dark Materials’, is the story of Lyra, a young girl with an exceptional destiny. Brought up in Jordan College, Oxford Lyra uncovers a secret about her mysterious guardian which leads to some dangerous questioning. It also marks the beginning of Lyra’s search for her friend Roger, a search that takes her to the ice kingdoms of the North where armoured bears rule. Lyra’s courage and stubborn determination lead her on this mission of incredible danger in this brilliant and imaginative story.
The author’s vivid imagination and vision is so spectacular and moving that it will leave you almost speechless with admiration and the amazingly diverse characters will be universally admired by all those who read about them. It’s completely original and totally spellbinding; a true classic that will stand the test of time much in the way Tolkien’s famous work has done.
