Wishing our Ffynone families a very happy Eid. Just like everything else, the celebrations won’t be quite as they are usually but we hope you manage to enjoy precious time with family and friends.

Thank you to our caretakers for working so hard throughout the last four months. Ffynone is looking fabulous!

Has the Music Department been sat on their laurels during lockdown? Of course not! June 18th would have been our special 'Music & Art's Evening Concert' but instead, over the last week of term, the Music Department had a series of mini concerts after school led by the peripatetic teachers.

Each pupil prepared their favourite solo item & performed either live or by uploaded video to the audience. We enjoyed concerts from the guitar, piano, vocal, flute, string & brass departments. We are very grateful to the peripatetic music team for organising this opportunity for students to show their work, even from behind a screen!

After the summer break, Mrs Ramos has big plans to get all the ensemble teams back up & running so watch this space.......................

Finally, a huge thank you to all the fabulous musicians who are moving on to the next stage in their education. Ffynone Music Department wishes them all the very best for the future. ... See more

So lovely to welcome our Year 10 students back to school for a socially distanced morning ‘check in’ with Mrs Davies, Mrs Walsh and Mr Boulding. An important catch up opportunity before the summer holidays. ... See more

Just a huge thank you this morning.
Thank you to our parents for getting their children out of bed everyday and encouraging them to engage so enthusiastically with our remote learning.
Thank you to our students who have so quickly learned how to navigate Microsoft Teams, have helped one another with tech issues and organisation in order to produce some truly excellent work.
Last, but certainly not least, thank you to our staff. At desks and kitchen tables they have embraced this challenging situation and learned on the job in a way many have not had to since their very first years in teaching. They have also continued to support students’ progress and wellbeing in the personal and friendly way that they do in person.
This has a been one huge team effort and our Ffynone family can now certainly add resilience and adaptability to its long list of positive characteristics. THANK YOU. ... See more

Congratulations to our ex-deputy head boy Will Davies who has achieved a First Class Honours Degree in Business and Finance. So impressive, well done!

Students and staff joined together for a Disney quiz this afternoon, to determine who is the biggest Disney fan! The battle was fiercely fought with Miss Jones and Ffion coming joint first with an impressive 69 out of 72! Everyone enjoyed it so much, they've requested another one next week! A huge thank you to Mrs Hillier for organising this as part of our ongoing wellbeing programme. ... See more

Our Year 7 and Year 8 pupils will be sitting the Junior Maths Challenge today. The first time it has ever taken place online. Good luck!!!

Today we launched our 30 day trial of the First News iHub platform. Year 7 were the first to get started and Year 8 and 9 will follow later this week. Massive congratulations to Rayyan in Year 7 who managed to earn a 'gem' on Day 1 accruing over 10,000 points!! Wow!

The First News iHub is an interactive digital news platform that delivers weekly news in a format and language suitable for our young people. For each article students complete a crossword, comprehension, poll or debate to demonstrate their understanding of what they have read. There is even a section where they can write their own news stories!

Students earn points for every activity they complete and their activity is tracked in a leader board. The activities are self-marking on the whole but teachers can give feedback and awards when they monitor students' progress.

We expect our students to work little and often on the platform, completing just a couple of tasks a day independently in addition to their other remote learning. Year 7 are certainly off to a flying start with Shiveena, Dhruv, Reuben, Aidan and Jayan all charging through the 1,000 points mark. Super work!

An email to parents with more information about the platform will follow later this week, outlining our hope that this tool will provide our Ffynone families with stimulating dinner time discussions! ... See more
