Gordano School is celebrating the success of 34 A-Level students who took part in the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge; 7 received Gold certificates, 11 received Silver and 12 received Bronze which is a huge achievement.
The Gordano Nurture Hub is an Early Help Provision run using Nurture UK principles and guidelines and is designed to support learners who are anxious about attending school for various reasons, giving them a soft start into their school day, exploring possible obstacles that may be stopping their learning, promoting their overall wellbeing and educational progress and providing them with training and tools to help them have a positive start to Secondary School.
Our catering provider Aspens is pleased to offer students in Years 7 – 11 a Christmas Lunch on Wednesday 18th December in the Dining Hall at a cost of £2.65 per person.
We will be supporting Caring in Bristol by collecting donations of goods that will be delivered to the centre to support people experiencing homelessness this Christmas. You can find out more about this campaign on their website here
You can make a monetary contribution via ParentPay, and we are also seeking donations of the items shown below.
Gordano School was thrilled to welcome BBC Radio Bristol who came to visit our Head of PE, Emma Harradine and two of our elite swimmers Jamie and Sam to talk about their experiences and successes of the sporting provision at Gordano and the journey of our amazing swimmers as they head on the road to the ESS National Swimming Finals.
Join us at the Gordano School Christmas Concert for an evening filled with festive music, joyful performances, and holiday cheer! The Jazz Band, Drumline, Barbieshop and many more performers look forward to welcoming you.
Friday 18th October is “Show Racism the Red Card” Wear Red Day
For any parents and pupils who were unable to attend our Open evening, we would very much like to welcome you and your child into school on this morning instead.
We are pleased to advise that we have received four nominations for the two Parent Governor vacancies, and it will therefore be necessary to hold a ballot.
As noted in our Parent Information evenings, our Careers Convention is one of the most popular events in the school calendar and we are delighted to host a wide range of employers and educational providers again this year. This event is open to all Year groups but it is particularly important for students in years 9-13 as they think about their GCSEs, work experience and Post 16/18 options.
On Thursday 22nd August we welcomed our Year 11 students into school to collect their GCSE results. We are so proud of each, and every student and we were delighted to be able to share the morning with our young people to celebrate their achievements.
There was a host of top performers; with 30 pupils achieving at least eight Grade 7s or better. These include Lucas F, who secured a Grade 9 in all 10 of his GCSEs, Saskia P, Emily W (with nine Grade 9s), Sophie B (with eight Grade 9s) and Femke L (with seven Grade 9s). Achievement across the whole ability profile has been strong and we are especially pleased with the progress of our disadvantaged students, as they have achieved the best outcomes in the last 5 years.
Gordano’s Headteacher, Louise Blundell, commented, “We are so pleased to be able to celebrate the achievements of our fabulous Year 11 students. As a cohort they have brilliantly navigated their educational journey, demonstrating their resilience and determination each step of the way. We are so delighted to see their individual achievements today but also the contributions they have made to our community over the last 5 years. We are incredibly proud of the young people they have grown into through their time at Gordano School – they are a wonderful year group, and we wish them all the very best in their future pathway.
“Many of our young people will be returning to Gordano Sixth Form, which saw some pleasing results last week. Whether our students are staying with us, moving onto college or progressing to Apprenticeships such as Jac R who has secured a prestigious apprenticeship with Rotork, we wish them every success in their bright futures. Congratulations to them all and I would also like to extend a huge thank you to our staff and parents who have supported them unconditionally.”
