Traditionally, girls and boys have had to follow set sports, led by their gender. Children being ‘pushed’ down a sporting route can, as a result, be put off the particular sport for life. In the modern world, this ethos is changing and we believe that all children should have the opportunity to choose the sport they participate in for their coached Games lessons.

Last Friday saw the ‘installation’ of the schools’ new Chaplain, Father Matthew Askey. The service saw Matthew licensed by the Bishop of Sherwood, with Woodard’s Brendan Clover also presiding over the event. The term Installed means being ‘put into your seat’ or ‘stall’ as they are better known for Clergy men and women. 

If you have a child in Year 5 or 6, you are probably looking at options for secondary school. And whether you’re at the very beginning of this journey, or looking for a place for September 2020, here is some useful advice to help you pick the right school for your child.

Celebrations continued today as GCSE students at Worksop College received their results.

Despite changes to the GCSE grading system and reportedly more difficult exams, students took it in their stride, with just under a 10% increase on 2018 for those getting the very top grades of A*, A and 7-9, (equivalent to A* and A).

Big smiles and happy tears this morning as our A level students received their results. With 100% pass rate and some stunning individual results, our school has seen a 9% increase in A-C grades on last year and a 7% increase on pupils achieving A and A* grades.

This news is even more impressive, given the fact that almost all A-levels have now been reformed, with the continuous testing of the previous regime removed and almost everything now riding on final exams.

Yesterday, the Worksop College Chapel Choir were live on the Jenny Kendall-Tobias show, BBC Radio Guernsey. We caught up with Music Department Administrator, Dr Walters, who gave us a rundown of the broadcast.
