Tassomai is a learning program for GCSE Science.

It works by breaking down specific content into bite-sized chunks and producing focus area quizzes for each student.

Students only need to complete a few minutes on Tassomai each day as they will be set daily goals.

This will enable students to regularly keep up with their targets and review the knowledge required for exams.

For more information, please watch the video below:

Please can students in Year 11 sign up to Tassomai before half term, and utilise this program as part of their revision strategy over the week break.

Dear Parent(s) / Carers(s),

You may be aware of recent publicity around the ‘Youth Strike 4 Climate’ event in Truro planned for Friday 15 February.  Please find below, the school’s position on this matter:

Our first priority as a school is always to ensure the health and safety of our young people during school time.  Other than for medical appointments (etc) schools should only agree to absence for ‘exceptional’ circumstances.  Some parents may consider this an exceptional circumstance.  Therefore, if any parent does agree for their child to take part in this event, they would need to contact the school via the normal procedure for reporting absence in advance.  Children who partake in the event will only be released from the school if their parents, or other agreed responsible adult, can collect them from the school to accompany them to the event.  Any such absence will be recorded as ‘authorised’.  We will not permit any student to leave the school site if they cannot be collected by their parents or other agreed responsible adult. As the published start time for the event is 11:00am, we would expect students to attend school in the morning.

The Roseland Academy has an established and active student CAT (Climate Action Team) who are leading a number of initiatives to raise awareness of climate change and undertake direct action in school to reduce our environmental impact. Any student wishing to take part in the event on Friday with parental permission, is additionally requested to write a letter to Mr Challis, outlining how they have contributed to and supported the CAT in past campaigns, and how they will commit time and support with on-site activities this year.

We will be inviting Sarah Newton MP to meet with our CAT and discuss their current projects and concerns about climate change and environmental impact, at the next available opportunity.

Many thanks

The Roseland Academy

On Thursday 28 February from 6.00 – 7.30pm, a Year 9 Exam Preparation Family Learning Session will take place at The Roseland Academy. The focus of this session will be to increase the impact and maintain students’ well-being, happiness and academic success, together with their families. These events would not be effective without the enthusiastic and supportive engagement from the families within our Roseland community.

Year 9 students are now preparing for Key Stage 4, and in anticipation of this, we would like to invite you to an evening explaining how we can support you and your son/daughter in the lead up to their Assessments Week that will take place in March.

Year 9 Assessment Week will enable the students to sample GCSE/BTEC qualifications through specific assessment tasks linked to their learning throughout the Year 9 curriculum.
