Following the curtailment of A-Level courses and the suspension of examinations, I felt it was important for our Y13 A-Level geographers to feel that their hard work was not wasted.  To this end, I encouraged them to use their fieldwork and investigation write-up experiences to enter a new national competition, ‘Young Explorers’ run by Geographical magazine. 

A letter from Mr Moore regarding this is attached.

In an effort to help RMGS students develop effective independent learning skills from home, this document was created to support students in regulating their own learning and develop awareness of how to motivate themselves from home. This guide, based on research and advice from both educationalists and educational psychologists, offers useful suggestions and tips for both students and parents/guardians.

Dear Parent/ Carer

Please see the attached document which is a guide for students working from home. It would be so helpful if you could take a moment to read it with your child/ren so they are assured about the next few weeks and what is expected of them. We will send it to them too.

Our school counsellor, Sue Allen, will be contacting her clients individually by email over the remainder of this term to explain how sessions will work. No new clients can be accepted at the moment.  Please do look at the resources on Schools in Mind   https://www.annafreud.org/on-my-mind/self-care/  and we are working on a section on the website.

Thank you for your continued patience and support.

Best regards,

Emma Horstrup
