SCHOOL NEWS
Gardening With Grown-Ups Morning
Updated 21st October
We have held another successful parental engagement event in school with a theme of giving our allotment area some much needed gardening attention. With the help of our fantastically supportive parents and carers we got to work on a range of jobs in the allotment, such as turning over soil, weeding, planting, weaving and cutting back over-grown shrubs. It was a lovely morning topped off by our amazing Sixth Form staff and students helping to provide some much-appreciated refreshments. We look forward to seeing you at one of our next events.
Wear Red Day
Posted 13th October
On Friday 17th October we will be raising awareness of Showing Racism the Red Card Day by wearing red. This is not a fund raising event but simply an opportunity to develop our pupils' tolerance and understanding of equality. Please support us in allowing your child to wear red for that day.
Change Of Holiday Dates
Posted 26th September
Please note that the staff training day that was due to take place on Monday 3rd November has now been moved to Monday 20th July. As a result of this the pupils will return to school after the October half term holidays on Monday 3rd November rather than Tuesday 4th November as previously stated. Please see the school holidays section for a full listing of school holidays and staff training days.
