      Dear Parents and Carers

      We have had a welcome respite from the challenging weather of the week before and this has allowed for a much more settled week in school. At this point in the year, I am required to review what progress we are making as a school and there are lots of positives to focus on.

      Headteacher's update 22 November 2024

      Published 22/11/24

      Dear Parents and Carers

      Thank you for your support and understanding this week in what have proved to be difficult weather conditions. The position of the headteacher is challenging in these moments because you feel the moral weight of responsibility for the safety of the entire school community and, given the geographical area we cover, it is hard to be truly confident in the weather conditions. I would also like to thank your young people who have dealt extremely well with the difficulties this week.

      Dear Parents and Carers

      On Monday we collectively took time as a school to reflect on the Armistice and through our assembly programme this week we have thought about the Royal British Legion's notion of 'Service above self'. I have talked with each year group about how we can think about others in our daily lives and maybe share some small acts of kindness.

      Published 08/11/24

      Dear Parents and Carers

      Thank you for supporting students to come back to school in the positive manner that they have this week. There has been a lot happening in school in the last couple of weeks. Year 11 students have returned from Barcelona and have had many great experiences there. We also took a theatre trip to see Run Rebel on the last day of term and the students spoke positively of this experience.
