Cox Green School
Dear Parents
It is difficult to believe but Year 11 have now 'left school' - at least until they return to the Sixth Form! We recently held an excellent Leaving Prom complete with varied transport, big dresses and smart bow ties.

Congratulations to staff and students for our fantastic and challenging Rock Challenge piece, 'The Hiding'. The team won 5 awards at the Southern Finals - a great achievement. This follows immediately from the news that we have just secured the prestigious Arts Mark Gold Award. This reflects the outstanding quality of work in the school in this important area. Well done to all.
Forthcoming events include: A Year 10 Parents' Evening on 1st July and the introductory evening for families of Year 6 children who are joining us in September during the evening of 6th July.
Well done to the families who have spotted the 'Academic Mentoring Day' as shown on the school calendar for 8th July. We have decided to cancel this activity following feedback from parents. We are developing this valuable work so that the discussions take place in tutor time without parents being present.
I encourage all music lovers to visit http://www.numu.org.uk/ This site contains recordings by our students as well as songs performed by the Jazz Orchestra
Great inspection report published
I am delighted to share the very positive report that OfSTED have published
following their visit to the school. It contains much praise for the school.
The overall judgement is that Cox Green is a 'Good' School. Copies
of the report have been sent home with students. Alternatively please

A few highlights:
"Students' achievement is good."
When describing lessons, "Students' relationships with teaching staff
are mostly excellent and an atmosphere of trust allows them to
respond positively to the challenges set."
"Behaviour seen ... was very good in class and around the site."
In the Sixth Form, "Students are making good and better progress in
their studies."
We are really pleased to receive official recognition of the success of our
school. Congratulations to all.
Mr Hylan
Think about the Sixth Form
Almost all Year 11 students will continue their education at the end of Year 11, most of them in the school sixth form. They are joined by an
increasing number of students from other schools.
Looking for a secondary school?
Many thanks to the many families who have chosen our school as their son or daughters secondary school. Our Year 7 intake for September is oversubscribed and we have a large waiting list for places. School staff will be visiting our new students in their primary school and Tuesday 6th July is our induction day, including an evening for parents.
If your child is currently in Year 5, details will shortly be available of opportunites for you to visit the school. We have already decided that Tuesday 28th September will be our main Open Evening. While this is a long way off, the
'Gaining a Place' section contains information about the processes of
applying. We hope this is helpful. There is a link to an electronic copy of
the prospectus in this section.
I would like to take this chance to thank the families from South Bucks who
have organised a bus to transport their children to Cox Green. A great
facility that is proving very popular.
