Headteacher's update 14 February 2025
Dear Parents and Carers
We come to the end of the first half of the Spring term and the end of the first half of the academic year. While it has been short it has certainly contained a lot. The snow days of January feel a long way away. Our young people have participated in so much this term, and I have very much enjoyed learning of their success. At the start of next term, I will share information about our ongoing work around attendance and how we are encouraging students to create a 'streak' of attendance. We are starting next term with a focus on aspiration and ambition in our assemblies to support students in their work and this is especially important for Year 9 who begin to make their option choices. Year 11 will begin their final half term before exams start and we will continue to encourage them to work hard and strive for the very best. We hope you and all of our young people have a well-earned break and we look forward to welcoming them back on Tuesday 25 February.
