Parent Governor
We currently have a vacancy for a Parent Governor. Please see the attached letter for more information and the application process if you are interested in joining our Governing Body.
Smartwatches
Although we encourage students to wear watches in school, please do not allow your child to wear a smartwatch, or any watch that has the same functionality as a mobile phone or PC, to school.
If your child needs to have a smartwatch for their journey to and from school, it will go into the phone box which is kept safe by their form tutor all day and will be returned to them at the end of the school day.
The above stipulations are a child protection requirement of the school and your compliance is requested for the safety and well-being of the school community.
KS3 updates
Year 7 have been demonstrating their swimming skills at the Moberly Sport Centre. This is the first year that we have been able to bring swimming back onto the Y7 timetable, and it has been great to see pupils' confidence develop over the course of the term. We have had a couple of pupils who haven't swum before who are now getting into the water. It is great to be able to offer this activity to our younger cohort again, especially where they may have missed out in primary school.
Democracy at SMBS
SMBS students exercised their democratic rights this term with the Head Student elections. Year 11s who ran for roles wrote and performed a speech to persuade the school to vote for them, using their best skilled speaking. We are delighted to announce that our Head Student for 2023-24 is Hezha, with Dea and Alfie as Deputy Head Students. As ever, we are so proud of all our students who pushed themselves out of their comfort zone by applying.
