Whilst many have been enjoying a well-deserved break from school matters, a good number of Year 11 and 13 students have been in school over the break receiving additional support from teachers in preparation for their forthcoming exams, and all of them (I hope!) revising hard at home. Their patience and maturity given such interruptions to their education has been amazing, and they deserve huge credit for the way that they continue to conduct themselves. As we start Term 5 I wish them every success in their forthcoming exams.

Wishing everyone a happy and successful Term 5.

Tom Inman, Headteacher

Thank you to everyone who has donated jeans and denim to the textiles department in the past, they have all been used for Year 8 and 9 projects, and we are now in need of more!

If you are having a clear out, please do send more in, we need a variety of clean denim items. At the moment we don’t have the space for other types of donation and just need denim. Please can they be bought to the DT department or email emurray@gordanoschool.org.uk to arrange pick up. Many thanks from the textiles team.

Well done to all our staff who entered into the literary spirit and dressed up for World Book Day 2022. There were some great costumes on display and reading quizzes and games to join in with for staff and students in the library. Can you spot your favourite character? 

Our Under-12 girls football team reached the quarter-finals in the National Cup, putting in an outstanding performance before being narrowly beaten by a team from Essex. They will be playing in the final of the Somerset Cup after Easter - we wish them success!

The Year 7 girls achieved 1st place at a North Somerset athletics event at St Katherine's School, and will now go on to represent North Somerset in the Avon Schools Championship after Easter.  The Year 7 boys also performed well, gaining 2nd place.

Inter-house sports competitions have been taking place in school this term.  Portland won the Year 7 girls hockey, the Year 9 girls hockey saw Portland and Shannon sharing 1st place, Fitzroy won both the Year 10 girls basketball and the Year 7 boys basketball, and the Year 9 boys basketball was won by Lundy.

At the end of Term 4 the current house positions in the sports points table are:
1st  Portland  144
2nd  Fitzroy  143
3rd  Biscay  127
4th  Lundy  121
5th  Shannon  112
6th  Cromarty  110
