His work was top secret for many years - very few people were aware
f the importance of what he had done

Security risk - all of his highly secret work for GCHQ and other government
rganisations were stopped.
September 2009, the Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, issued a public apology on

behalf of the government, for the way that Alan Turing had been treated.

‘Ready to Learn’ expectations

We expect all pupils to follow our three St. Katherine’s Ready to Learn expectations:

Be responsible by arriving on time and fully equipped
Be respectful by listening and speaking politely
Be resilient by remaining on task and working hard

SLIDE 39

What happens if a pupil is not ‘Ready to Learn’?

For example: arriving late to the lesson or talking out of turn

○ a teacher will tell them that they have a “warning” and their name will be recorded ○ If a pupil does this for a second time, they will be sent to the Ready to Learn room for a full day i.e. 5 periods (After phased introduction in Term 1 for Y7)
