The Market Weighton School recently hosted the East Riding of Yorkshire Holocaust Memorial Event. Students under the guidance of Mr Morris, teacher of Society & Ethics, and Mr Fletcher teacher of History, put together a programme of events in remembrance of the Holocaust and more recent genocide in Cambodia, Rwanda and Darfur.

The students performed specially selected music and drams and read poems written by Holocaust survivors and accounts of the atrocities they faced. Ben Clark and Matthew Haxby preformed the theme to Schindler’s List, which they had prepared as part of their GCSE music assessment and Mukeni Wa-Ciama performed her own composition, ‘I’m Sorry’. Other performers on the day were Gemma Marshall, Elizabeth Cass, Viviana Mayman, Lydia Melbourne, Hannah Clark, Alex Calvert, Evie Witty, Abigail Redhead, Abigail Johnson and the Year 10 GCSE drama group. All were ably supported by Joe Green and Ben Kirby providing technical support under the supervision of Mr Poulston.

Mr Fletcher spoke about the importance of ensuring young people learn about the Holocaust and understand how discrimination and hatred allowed this to happen in Europe only 75 years ago. He went on to link this with modern day cases of discrimination and encouraged all the students present to stand up for what is right.

Distinguished guests including the Lord-Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire, The Hon. Dame Susan Cunliffe-Lister, DCVO, High Sheriff of the East Riding of Yorkshire, Mrs. Deborah Rosenberg, and the Chairman of East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Councillor Margaret Chadwick. They were joined by the Mayor of Market Weighton and Mayoress, Town Councillor Derek and Mrs. Joan Cary, together with many supporters of the school. All were highly impressed by the quality of performances given by the students. Special thanks to Langlands Garden Centre who kindly provided the floral arrangements.

I am writing to invite you to the TMWS Year 11 Progression Event on Tuesday 3rd October 2017 from 4.30-6.30 in the School Hall. This is an annual event which is very successful in providing our Year 11 pupils/parents with access to IAG (Information, Advice and Guidance) from Post-16 providers in Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The aim of the event is to provide the necessary information to enable our current Year 11 pupils to make informed decisions about their direction from September 2018. The application process begins in earnest over the next 2 months and as such this is a very important event.

We are very pleased that our students have performed well in the new style maths and English GCSEs with 68% of them scoring a grade 4 or higher in both maths and English (the government’s new basics measure). This compares favourably with the figure of 66% last year for those gaining at least a C grade in these subjects.

TMWS is committed to educating young people about emotional wellbeing. We also know it is crucial to raise awareness of issues and ensure students know where to get help if they need it.

As part of teaching your child about emotional wellbeing, a theatre group called ‘Dramatic Theatre in Education Company’ will be performing a one hour play on Friday 5th May called No Harm done?

No Harm Done? Is a theatre in education play followed by an interactive talkback that aims to start conversations around mental health and emotional wellbeing. No Harm Done? follows two teenage school friends who share their experiences of self-harm. The story talks about feelings, self-care and how we might react when someone we care about self-harms.

With our Year 8 Residential visit just around the corner, we have published our Parents Information pack to help you prepare fully for this visit.

Following a very busy week of fundraising, selling noses, bun sales, talent shows, non uniform days and tuck shops we are proud to have raised just over £850 for Comic Relief. The images here show a flavour of what we did to raise this fantastic amount of money.
