EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

By Mrs A Punt29th September 2021

On Monday 27th September the school celebrated European Day of Languages.

Our Modern Foreign Languages department was awash with colourful flags and posters representing many European countries.  The day started with morning registration being called in different foreign languages followed by a language competition involving maps and flags, a poster competition and a quiz at form time.  The school canteen even became involved with the menu focusing on Italian, Spanish and French food – pasta, quiche, Spanish omelette, croissants and croque monsieur –  with the crepes proving very popular!

Congratulations to Harvey in Year 7 for being the overall competition winner, Ms Angulo for being the best dressed, Mr Dales for using the most languages and Dr. Mawby for using the most unusual language (Malay) with her groups.

Thank you to Ms Adams and Ms Angulo for organising such a fun, informative and inspiring day for the students who now really do have a better understanding of where languages can take them.

OPEN EVENING CANCELLED

By Mrs A Punt27th September 2021

Shipston High School’s Open Evening, planned for 30th September 2021, is now cancelled. This decision is taken with regret, but has been taken is response to further cases of coronavirus in the school community. In order to protect visitors, students and staff from the risk of infection, it would be irresponsible to host a gathering of potentially hundreds of people, including many children. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

GCSE Results 2021

By Mrs A Punt8th September 2021

Shipston High School congratulates our Year 11 students on the fantastic GCSE results achieved this year. Students have had an extremely challenging time since the government’s cancellation of the usual examinations. The grades awarded represent the hard work across the duration of their courses, and their commitment has been rewarded with impressive individual performances and strong results across the school. All students should be very proud.

Shipston High School has once again proved its reputation for high academic achievement with a host of top grades across all subjects. Shipston High is proud of the wide success for our students, including those who scored especially impressively by securing a grade 9 in at least seven different subjects.

This year, following the cancellation of exams, grades were awarded through a process of centre assessed grades, checked against a national standard and approved and awarded by the exam boards. The government is not publishing performance data for any schools or colleges this year due to the varying impact of the pandemic.

Gavin Saunders, the school’s headteacher said: “We are immensely proud of all the work and achievements of our students, especially after such a difficult and disrupted year. Our students, supported by their families and teachers, have worked with real commitment to ensure they can pursue their ambitions in education, training and employment and we look forward to seeing what they will achieve in the future.”
