“Keeping you up to date on all things Winstanley!”

In order to continue with our Winstanley wide push on improving communication, we have drawn up the following curriculum map to show all that is on offer to every student here at Winstanley Community College. We have worked tirelessly to make sure that every student has not only a curriculum that suits their needs, but also an extra-curricular offer which can truly enrich every student’s time at Winstanley.

We have had very positive feedback over our fortnightly newsletter, but would like to try and resolve any communication issues that you still feel we have to tackle. Please email : [email protected] Following comments from a parent this week, we are endeavouring to find a solution whereby texts are sent to parents of any sporting squad member to let you know the date, time and estimated return times of any sporting fixture on a weekly basis. We will also communicate if there is a delay for any reason on their return journey. 1

Kingsway Year 6 Visit - Feedback On Wednesday 17th September we were thrilled to entertain Kingsway Year 6 for a day here at Winstanley. We reported what an amazing day everyone had back in September, and we have recently received a letter from each student. We are delighted by their letters and have included some of the student comments. “The Winstanley experience was awesome…. The drama teacher was very funny and made me come back to Kingsway with a big smile on my face…. Some people preferred cooking; some drama. However, I liked all of them…. Amazingly, I learnt something in every lesson…. Very good school…. We did an amazing French lesson….. It was an amazing day, with all the different lessons…. Thank you for inviting us to Winstanley, the trip was mind blowing.” Thank you Kingsway, you were amazing and we are thrilled you had a wonderful day with us.
