Thursday this week, 29 January from 4.30pm in the sports hall.
Advice and Guidance Adviser
Over the next 3 weeks we will not have an IAG adviser and will not be able to accept any IAG
interview appointments; students who are concerned and in need of IAG advice, should go to
the student services office where another member of staff will be available for guidance.
Until we appoint another IAG adviser we will create a waiting list for IAG appointments. The
waiting list will be in the student services office.

Change in Vocational Qualification
Year 9 BTEC Students
After a review of ICT vocational qualifications available at Key Stage 4, (which have recently
changed after government intervention) the current option of the BTEC in Information and
Creative Technology has been replaced by two courses both equivalent to a GCSE
qualification.
In Year 9, students will follow the ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) syllabus. This
is a nationally recognised qualification that helps prepare students for the work place. The
course covers skills in word processing, spreadsheets, presentation and a unit on using ICT to
improve productivity. All units are externally assessed with online examinations.
In Year 10, students will follow a more creative path with a creative iMedia course. This will
teach planning and organisational skills alongside graphics and web development. This course
has one paper-based examination, which contributes to 25% of the final grade, with the
remaining 75% based on internally assessed coursework.
If you have any questions about these courses please do not hesitate to contact either Mrs
Potten or Miss Cotgrove.

BOOKS R US
At the last meeting the group discussed the seasonal titles they had read during the holiday
period. ‘Winter Town’ by Stephen Emond proved to be one of those ‘Marmite’ books with
students either loving or hating the book as shown by these comments.
Loved it because:
‘I liked the format of the book, with its comic style illustrations.’
‘The story was told from the different perspectives of the two characters.’
Hated it because:
‘There was not much of a story line and the blurb gave away the plot’.
‘The book had a strange beginning and I felt the relationship between the characters was
confusing’.

As part of this experience the Milton Keynes Young Enterprise Area board organise a large
trade fair that takes place in Middleton Hall in the Centre MK, attracting YE companies
all over Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and beyond and so is an excellent
market place for students to sell their wares.
This year two of our schools’ three companies attended the trade fair. They were MOO MK
and SBE. MOO MK have researched and designed a story book that contains stories from
older generations from the family and friends of the students and from older people who live
at a local care home. SBE bought and sold a range of scented candles and packaged them to
add value to the customer. Both businesses made vital sales at the trade fair. The students
learned valuable lessons about how to pitch their products to the general public.
