All Years
Covid-19 and Flu Immunisations
As requested by The NHS School Age Immunisation Team, at the beginning of this week we distributed paper consent forms to students for Covid-19 vaccinations*. If you haven’t received one for your child please contact school@perins.hants.sch.uk

Please complete the relevant part of the form to either give consent or to decline consent for the Covid-19 vaccine.

The Immunisation team have rescheduled the flu immunisations at school to Thursday 7th and Friday 8th October when they will also be administering the Covid-19 vaccination to 12–15-year-olds students who have consent. The link to the Flu vaccination consent has remained open as the visit date has been extended.

Please be aware that we are passing-on all information we receive. Our staff are not able to answer questions on the vaccination programmes. We recommend addressing queries to the NHS School Nursing Team northwesthantsimmunisationteam@southernhealth.nhs.uk or Public Health England https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus

*If your child is in Year 7 but not yet 12 then please don’t complete the form.
Work for Students Self-Isolating due to Covid-19
If your child is unfortunately self-isolating, please be advised that all work is being regularly updated by teaching staff on SharePoint.  In order to access this work, your child will need to log into the Curriculum Hub on the school SharePoint site (https://perinsschool.sharepoint.com/sites/curriculum) and:

  • go to the relevant subject
  • go to the correct year group
  • select the relevant term
  • locate the lesson tracking sheet
  • find <his/her> teacher's name and find out which week's work they should focus on
  • click on the link to the curriculum overview document (this should be linked at the top of the lesson tracking sheet)
  • follow instructions here - the curriculum overview document should link to a screencast that describes expectations of the lesson, and to relevant resources within SharePoint

Should students have any subject specific questions, including if they are struggling to locate work, their subject teacher will always be the best person to ask and we would recommend emailing them directly in the first instance.

The Perins MAT - Local Advisory Board Roles

School Drop-off Safety Message
May we remind parents that morning drop-off inside the school gates is not allowed unless a pass has been issued through Student Services. Dropping-off on-site presents a health and safety risk and causes issues for buses, coaches and minibuses entering the site from Jacklyns Lane. We also ask for your support in only using the Jacklyns Lane entrance when absolutely necessary so as not to cause issues for these same vehicles leaving site. Thank you for your support.

GCSE Maths Revision Guides for Years 10 & 11 Students
As we move through the GCSE Mathematics course, students are beginning to think about exam preparation.

After Christmas in Year 11, Mathematics teachers will provide regular emails to you and your child, containing individualised revision targets with links to appropriate resources. It is expected that students will work through these targets on a weekly basis in order to fill the gaps in their knowledge.  

In addition to this bespoke revision plan, many students like to use a revision guide to help them prepare. The following material is available for purchase:
Foundation
  • GCSE Maths Edexcel Complete Revision & Practice: Foundation - Grade 9-1 Course - £5.60 - ISBN: 9781782949985
Higher
  • GCSE Maths Edexcel Complete Revision & Practice: Higher - Grade 9-1 Course - £5.60 - ISBN: 9781782944058

If your child is in Year 10 then the revision guide is a useful resource to consolidate everything being covered in lessons. This allows students to continue consolidating their classwork at home early on in the GCSE course making the revision process easier come Year 11.

If you are unsure as to which resource is appropriate for your child, please contact their Mathematics teacher, or myself for clarification. As this is a newer GCSE course, previous revision material may be of limited use. These new resources should be used to support the revision plan outlined by the class teacher.

You can order these resources online via SCOPay. Please note that the deadline for placing your order is 9am, Wednesday 13th October. No orders will be processed after this date.

Yours sincerely,
Team Leader – Maths
