Another Exciting Term Ahead
I trust you all had a superb time over the past two weeks and that you enjoyed your child(ren)'s company during the festive period.
It's another exciting term ahead as we prepare our Year 11, 12 and 13 students for their external examinations later on in the year. If you need any assistance in supporting your child during their studies please contact your child's class teacher in the first instance and then the Head of Department/Head of Faculty.
We know that for some students taking exams can be a very stressful experience and for others, it is not! Whatever the situation is at home don't forget that we are here to make life a little easier - or perhaps more challenging!
Thanks for your continued support. Keep offering suggestions to improve your child's life chances!

Students from Years 7 and 8 and both GCSE Music classes at the school gathered together to sing 'You Gotta Be' by Des'ree, chosen because of its message of spreading love and looking after each other.

School Footwear
At this time of year student’s footwear can often come under considerable attack from the elements. We feel that it is important to support parents in ensuring that students are able to maintain their uniform during these periods and to ensure this we have made the following arrangements.Procedure for a Student Going Home Unwell
If your son or daughter is unwell they need to come to the school office and complete a form. The school office staff will then make the necessary call to parents to arrange collection.We are finding that some students are making their own arrangements via mobile phone.
For your child’s safety we need the correct procedure to be followed.
