Parents That Paint Morning
Updated 2rd September
On Thursday 18th September our library and surrounding area was given a make-over thanks to the brilliant parents and carers that continue to support our school, enabling our children and young people to continue to enjoy using the library facilities. We were also joined by Rachael from AK Teaching who supplied some of the refreshments along with our Sixth Form students helping the parents and carers enjoy some teas and coffees and a home baked cake. The library now looks fantastic and is ready both internally and externally to celebrate National Green Library Week next month.
Staffing Update
Posted 9th September
Dear Parents/Carers,
Sam Dawson has decided to retire and is no longer with us. Natalie Fitzpatrick is our new Deputy Head. As you all know her well I'm sure you know her door is always open. Thanks for your support for such a positive start to the year.
