We thought you would like to see our two press releases on the recent examinations results. We are absolutely delighted with the success of our students. Thank you as well for all the hard work put in by teachers, support staff and of course, parents and carers. We are a sports college and we are well aware that this is a team effort and a team success.

“Record Results”
Hinchingbrooke Sixth Form students have obtained their best ever results this year with an overall pass rate of 99% and an A-C rate of 78%. Half of all entries were awarded A*/A or B. In addition 18 students achieved at least 3 grade As including Florence Avery who will now read Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University. 23 entries also received the new A* grades.
The Headteacher, Keith Nancekievill commented, “This is the fourth year of sustained improvement in our A level results in the context of a significant expansion in student recruitment. The results pay testimony to the professionalism of our teaching staff and the hard work and determination of our students. I am delighted with their performance and I wish them every success in their future careers.”
Hinchingbrooke School GCSE Results High for a Third Year
Hinchingbrooke School maintained high GCSE results for a third year with the 5 A* - C percentage now 77%. There was an increase in A*/A grades at 30% and the A* - C grades result including Maths and English was 65%. Andrew Bunting, Jonny Lusha, Katie Thomas, Sam Green, Rachel Crosby, Marwan Hassan and David Sweetenham all gained 8 or more A* grades. Headteacher, Keith Nancekievill commented, “This is a phenomenal achievement for these young people, but at the same time I want to congratulate all those students who gained creditable results. We have high achievers here with numerous A and A* grades, but there are also many students who achieved their own personal best, whatever grade is on the certificate. To all of them I give my heartfelt congratulations.”
Week Commencing Monday 19th July
Both of the German Exchanges have now returned after having a wonderful experience in Herrenberg. Sincere thanks to the staff, especially Mr Tandy and Mr Urwin for organising these visits.
Last week saw our Annual Year 6 Taster Day and Evening, which was very busy, but very successful. Thank you to Mrs Tandy and her team, but also to Adam Gotch, our new head boy, who appears to be an accomplished public speaker already if we judge him by his performance that evening.
Today there is a new venture in the School. 150 Year 6 students are joining in with a primary languages festival. The Design & Technology Exhibition also comes down after visits from Staff, Parents and Students to see some excellent work.
Whilst wishing you all a restful summer break, may I also remind parents that in the continuing hot weather students have been known to be attracted to the Country Park and to the lake itself. These areas are there to be enjoyed sensibly and we would not want to hear of anybody from Hinchingbrooke harming either themselves or the environment.
Best wishes for a good summer. Term starts with students on Thursday 2 September.
Best Wishes,
Di Beddow

SIMS LEARNING GATEWAY
This facility is currently being trialled. When all testing is complete, all parents will be given access. We hope to have this in place by September 2010.
PARENTS WILL BE INFORMED BY LETTER WHEN THIS FACILITY IS AVAILABLE.
All schools have a database in which student information is stored and this information is accessed through software called a Management Information System (MIS). The SIMS Learning Gateway (SLG) Parent site enables parents to access the SIMS school database over the Internet.
SIMS Learning Gateway is a secured website that will give parents access to their son/daughter’s information. As you may appreciate this information is sensitive so the system will require a password and other personal information to access it. Only information that is relevant to an individual will be displayed, and all information is coded to prevent unauthorized access. Once parents have access to the system they will be able to view information held on the school records system relevant to their child(ren), such as attendance and assessment.
In order to register your interest I would ask that you complete the following survey.
The survey also asks your views on an on-line booking system for Parents’ Evenings.

Parent Governor Elections
I am pleased to announce that Loraine Hilton and Laurie Sice have been elected as Parent Governors. Governors make a very significant contribution to the success of the school. It is a demanding and entirely voluntary role. I am encouraged to see so many candidates for this election. This bodes well for the future governance of the school.
