Congratulations to all pupils that received their GCSE results last Thursday. It was wonderful to see so many of our pupils succeed with many achieving excellent grades.
We would like to congratulate the following individuals on the grades achieved:
Congratulations to the students who today
received their Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level results. We saw an
increase in the best grades this year and our pupils succeeded in achieving
their relevant choices for the next stage of their careers.
We would like to congratulate the following
individuals on the grades achieved:
Since we again have a forecast of hot weather for Monday, we give permission for pupils to wear sensible black shorts or PE kit shorts if they so wish on Monday 9/7/18. The remainder of the school uniform requirements are unchanged..
The forecast for Tuesday onwards is for cooler weather and therefore pupils are expected to wear the usual school uniform from Tuesday 10/7/18 onwards.
Since the weather is predicted to be hot again for the rest of the week, we give permission for pupils to wear sensible black shorts or their PE kit shorts if they wish from Wednesday 4/7/18 to Friday 6/7/18. Other items of the school uniform remain unchanged.
Parents’ Evening for Year 7 pupils on Thursday October 25, 2018, 3:30 - 6:30pm. Evening will provide an opportunity to meet with your child's Class Tutor to find out how he / she has settled into school.
Clarification on uniform for the remainder of this half term:
The initial request was for children to come to school on Friday wearing shirt and tie if possible since the photographers are taking photos of individuals and groups in years 7-10.
With the weather getting colder, we are encouraging pupils to move to the winter uniform, with a view to having our pupils wearing shirts and ties over the next few weeks, ideally by October 8th. However, we are aware that parents may not have purchased the shirts for the winter uniform and we are not mandating that the uniform is changed unless people are in a position to be able to do so.
The original cut off date of half term remains.
We will soon be seeking parental views in relation to having a single uniform all year round, which we believe, will be far cheaper and more practicable in the long term.
I hope that the above email explains the situation. Apologies if it appeared that we are mandating something here. A change to the school uniform is a governing body decision, we are only trying to see if we can move pupils to wearing the winter uniform a little earlier where possible.
Many thanks to the volunteers who helped with
clearing the snow from the pathways and school entrance. It was raining heavily
and everybody was soaking wet! Thanks for persevering so that we are able to
open tomorrow.
