Welcome to Aureus School

I am immensely proud to be the Headteacher of Aureus School. I have a passion for comprehensive education and I firmly believe that every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. My approach is driven by my belief in inclusive education and centred around high expectations of all students.

As the only co-educational comprehensive school in Didcot we have a fantastic student body whose range of attributes contribute to making Aureus School a vibrant community. I have the privilege to be working with a talented, dedicated and enthusiastic staff body who are passionate about inspiring our young people every single day, enabling them to thrive.

A huge thank you to Ms King for organising and running our Post-16 Evening last week. It was wonderful to welcome back some of our alumni, who represented their Post-16 providers and spoke to our students about their experiences and next steps. One of the real highlights was catching up with former students and hearing about everything they have gone on to achieve. From Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award training to university offers, it was fantastic to hear about their ambitions and successes, it is particularly special to see them returning to school to inspire the students following in their footsteps. For those Yr10 and 11 students who were unable to attend last Wednesday's Post 16 Information Evening , please do speak to your coaches and visit our website where there is career advice and information on next steps.

Well done to Freya, in Yr9, who has completed her swimming Gala this weekend. 10 races. 5 each day. She managed 7/10 PBs plus 1 bronze medal for her 200m Back. Freya shows true resilience, as she is still fighting a long term neck and shoulder injury. Overall a great weekend. Didcot Barramundi also finished the weekend top of the overall points table. Well done, Freya!

A big well done to Niall, in Yr7, for running his own bake sale and, as a result, raising over £216 for the Dogs Trust, Newbury! What an incredible achievement - you are an inspiration, Niall!

The Bebras Challenge promotes computational thinking in schools globally, occurring every November over two weeks. Last year, over 4 million students from 80+ countries participated. In the UK, it's open to ages 6 to 19, allowing each student 45 minutes to complete interactive tasks online, which are automatically graded, providing equal opportunities for all students to excel.

Our Yr9s have had a really insightful and productive day with Humanutopia. Discussing such topics such as: "What is the hardest thing about being a teenager?" and looking at the 'Pecking Order' within peer groups. The students showed great maturity and articulated their thoughts and opinions exceptionally well. Thank you to T, from @humanutopia, who, as always, did a fantastic job of not only keeping the students motivated and engaged, but created a safe space for them to share their views.
