Head Teacher's welcome message

Congratulations Mathematicians

Isabel Lipington in Year 8 achieved Second Prize in the  University of Southampton Maths Challenge 2013. Charlie Cane in Year 7 also achieved a Certificate of Merit. Both students and their parents have been invited to an awards evening at the university to receive their prizes. The competition is held annually and is entered by students from schools across Hampshire as well as further afield. It consists of a selection of interesting mathematical questions for pupils to attempt at home during the February half-term. We are very proud of both students' achievements.

Fantastic Maths Results!

Portchester Community School is celebrating a brilliant set of results in GCSE Mathematics following the early sitting by the majority of the Year 11 students.

61% of students in the year group have now achieved at least a C grade with further passes anticipated in the summer. 20 students achieved an A* or A Grade and the overwhelming majority of the year group have shown significant improvement since joining the school.  Congratulations to all students involved, and of course to the Mathematics staff. These results follow a superb set of English Literature results last month!

Stella's Voice
Citizenship students at Portchester were deeply moved by the stories of Christina, Ulrika and Vulrika, three teenaged orphans from Moldova who spoke to their classes.  Moldova is the poorest country in Europe from where a great many young men and women are illegally trafficked as slave labour or worse.
These extremely intelligent and confident young women said that the Stella's Voice charity had given them a chance in life, and hoped that we would be able to support them in their work.

The visit was arranged by Year 11 student Layla Fendle who became aware of the work of the charity through her church, and who has been helping to host the visitors

Inspirational visit from Aaron Phipps
Recently the school were privileged to receive a visit from Paralympian Aaron Phipps who represented Team GB  in Wheelchair Rugby.  A group of Year 9 students had the privilege of setting a training challenge for Aaron and were duly astonished by how hard he works to reach the required level of fitness.  All in all an inspiring day
