As we move into summer, our thoughts turn towards opening the field for students to use during break times… And then it rains again! We hope to be opening it very soon.
Nonetheless, with the sun finally putting in an appearance, everything and everyone seems brighter and happier.
A few years ago, we banned the use of phones in our school. As you know, they shouldn’t be seen or heard on the school site until after 3.30pm. This was a policy which was very much supported by our parents and carers and one that has had a very positive effect - you’ll probably know from the media that the government and other schools are now catching up with us and advocating the same idea.
As we move around the school site on duty, we see groups of students chatting and laughing, running around, playing football etc and just generally and innocently celebrating being a teenager - the way that we probably did when we were their age. As teachers, it’s a delight for us to see.

INSET Days for 2023/24

Every effort is made to ensure these dates are accurate. There are occasions when circumstances beyond our control may result in changes.
Prefect Presentation Evening
“Be the change you wish to see in the world”
On Thursday evening we welcomed our new generation of Prefects. It was an absolute pleasure to see the excitement in their faces as they were awarded their prefect ties and badges in front of proud parents. The midnight oil was obviously burnt in some households as Senior Prefect braiding appeared on some blazers this morning!
We look forward to seeing how our Prefects will enact change and model the way for our younger students as they step up to their new responsibilities and we wish them every success.

Year 9 Enterprise Project - Exclusive Offer!
We are a group of Year 9 students that have been studying Enterprise. Over the year, we have learnt why small businesses exist and what makes them a success, market research methods, promotional activities and finance methods.
Alongside our theoretical learning, we have been developing our own business ideas. This year we have chosen to create reusable and sustainable tote bags for staff and students to purchase. There is a choice of designs that you can pick from!
They measure 38cm x 42cm, so they're big enough to hold a PE kit, or an A4 folder. The bags will be available for a limited time only and at the very competitive price of £2.50!
These can be ordered before Friday 21 June via the following Google Form and an online payment using Scopay. Orders will be distributed via tutors before the end of the summer term.
Thank you for supporting us!

Click on the tabs below to find out what each year group is exploring in RSHE this term!
Year 7
Students have been discussing what a diverse society looks like and what the protected characteristics of the equalities act are. This has led to identifying and challenging stereotypes and what discrimination is. Students are also exploring what prejudice and bias looks like within the media and how they can research and find their own facts. Students are also identifying who their role models are and what influences they have upon them, as well as how to manage peer pressure.
Year 8
Students have been busy identifying what constitutes a healthy relationship and discussing how to form positive and healthy new friendships. This moves onto exploring their online activity and behaviours with the aim to reduce online risks and develop their digital resilience. Students also explore the importance of human rights and responsibilities within society, the school environment and the workplace and how to challenge discrimination.
Year 9
Students have been identifying how relationships can change and evolve. This has also included considering loss. Family dynamics and marriage are explored and Year 9 revisit what constitutes a positive relationship. Contraception and the risk of sexually transmitted infections is shared with the students.
Year 10
Students have been reflecting on their work experience placements by sharing their experiences and feedback with one another. They have also been completing their work books and evidence in preparation for their entry to the Prince’s Trust World of Work certification. They will then move on to considering role models and aspirations before revisiting online safety.
Year 11
Students complete their RSHE program this half-term ahead of their exams but have spent some time reflecting on their RSHE journey throughout their time at Mountbatten from Year 7 to Year 11. They have discussed some sensitive topics around pregnancy, miscarriage and abortion with maturity. Positive relationships and consent have been explored and developed from their work in Year 10. We hope that our RSHE curriculum will help our students stay healthy and happy during and long after their exams.
Should your child wish to seek support related to any of these topics or about anything else that is worrying them, please advise them to speak to their form tutor in the first instance or request some support from our Student Support Team by completing the Student Support form on the student area of the school website.
We have our reporting system 'TootToot', where students can report anonymously or with their name.
