FROM THE HEADS OF SIXTH FORM
Dear Parents,
End of term reports will be posted to you today. The students have been advised to take notice of the feedback given in the reports by subject staff to improve their grades and exam performance. If this is acted upon immediately, there is still time to see an improvement in their mock exams in February.

Bulletin Questionnaire
Thank you to everyone that has completed our Bulletin Questionnaire. If you haven’t done so, the form will be open for your feedback until 12 noon on Monday 16 January.
Swimarathon at the Magnet Leisure Centre
On Saturday 7th January, a small band of generous spirited, fun loving 6th formers represented Claires Court in the Lions Club annual swimarathon at The Magnet. Year 12 were represented by Hattie Thomas, Tom May and Todd Muil and Year 13 were represented by Flora Gault, Sophie Corrigal, Laura Batten, Alexei Murphy, Chris Rayer and Toby Yates. Daisy Fowler, Mrs. Burdett and Ms Renardson cheered them on as they completed a total of 117 laps (334 lengths). The exact amount of money raised by the teams is still to be confirmed but as the photos show, they were supporting the Lions Club charities and Foodshare (Maidenhead). The various food items on the posters are all examples of items currently required by Foodshare for distribution to local people in need.
Our swimmers really did Claires Court proud as their camaraderie, team spirit, generosity and determination were an absolute delight to behold. They were real stars.
You can see more photographs on the website.
