We Need Your Help Supporting Our Local Food Bank We are kindly asking our students to bring in donations for our local food bank as part of our West Craven High School Christmas appeal. We are collecting non-perishable food items only, and these can be brought into school any time between now and Monday 9th December. All donations, big or small, will make a real difference to local families this winter. Thank you for your support and generosity.

GCSE Certificate Collection If you haven't yet collected your GCSE certificates from school, please come to the school office between 9.00 and 3.00, Monday - Friday. If you are asking someone to collect them on your behalf, they will need to bring a signed letter of consent from you along with their own ID. Unclaimed certificates will be returned to the exam boards and there will then be a charge to students to obtain them from the exam boards when needed for university or job applications.

Out of School Achievement Rita has been attending Stagecoach in Skipton since the age of 3, and her confidence and acting skills have flourished over the years. Recently, she gave a brilliant performance as Donkey in Shrek the Musical during her annual stage school show. Rita was also awarded Stage 3 Student of the Year and received her 9-year attendance certificate. In addition, she was recently recognised as a Rising Star at West Craven, making this an incredible couple of weeks for her achievements.

Out-of-School Achievement Lola recently showcased her incredible talent at the in-house gymnastics competition at Ambitions Gymnastics, Cross Hills on Saturday, 22nd November. She trains weekly with the Blue Squad at Ambitions, attends tumble sessions, and also keeps active through dance at Imogen School of Dance every Thursday evening. At the competition, Lola delivered an outstanding performance: 1st Place in Gymnastics Floor Routine 2nd Place in Vault We are so proud of Lola for her dedication, hard work, and passion for gymnastics and dance

We're excited to celebrate Christmas Jumper Day on Thursday 11th December! Students are invited to wear a festive Christmas jumper or a single appropriate Christmas accessory to help spread some seasonal cheer. Please note that full school uniform must still be worn, with the jumper or accessory added on top. We are kindly asking for a £1 donation, which students can give directly to their form tutor on the day. All funds raised will go towards supporting our chosen Christmas charity.

We are currently developing detailed learning journeys for each of our curriculum areas. Every subject will have a clear, visual overview of what students will be learning from Year 7 through to Year 11. As an example, here is the Year 7 Maths Learning Journey. This gives a flavour of what will soon be available for all subjects. All learning journeys will be published on our website before we break up for Christmas.
