Welcome to the Secondary Website

We hope you will find this website useful in sharing information and spreading good practice.

The various areas within the site will provide you with information and links on the latest developments within Secondary Standards. It is also useful in providing links and key information and documentation for those looking to use this site as a portal for sharing information.

You will also find a range of the latest bulletins produced within CYPS, in particular, the latest news from the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme. Our monthly Secondary Curriculum Bulletins are packed full of information and a library of these are available in the curriculum link. In the termly Secondary Newsletter you will find a fantastic variety of illuminating articles from colleagues in education across the secondary sector in Newham. We are pleased to say that we seem to have received more articles than ever, reflecting the rich profusion (and complexity!) of exciting developments in our schools today.

We are always looking to improve the website and would be grateful for any ideas, comments or suggestions you may have.
