This year, given the challenges we have all faced over the past few months and the abrupt end to year 11 studies, what we want to do is try and run an exam results day that is as normal as possible but also try and make it a bit of an event to mark the […]

We are really looking forward to welcoming your child back to school in September. This letter is another part of our work to support you so that you can help your child as they prepare to return to school next term.

As we approach the end of term, I wanted to write to you with some reflections on this half term and to begin to explain to you about our plans for opening in September.

We are hosting a Zoom meeting on Wednesday 15th July 2020 at 6pm for parents to ask questions (if they have any) about the new Relationships and Sex Education curriculum.

Dear Parents, Since returning to school after the Easter break we have been working hard on plans to offer face to face learning on site from Monday, June 15th for Year 10 students. Only 50 students from Year 10 are allowed on site each day, so each Year 10 student will only have a total […]

Our biggest priority is to ensure that both students and staff can attend school safely and so in planning to reopen for Year 10 students we have made significant changes to both the physical school environment and to our daily routines so that we can make the school as safe as possible.

As a Rights Respecting School we support, uphold and promote the Convention of The Rights of The Child and The United Nations Charter of Human Rights. We believe and we teach that all lives matter. However, at this time following the murder of George Floyd in USA by a police officer we feel it is important to state we support the BLM movement as it is a matter of human rights and black lives are in danger.

We have been carefully planning how we will run our school this half term so that parents and students can be reassured that it is as safe as possible.

Thank you again for all for the work that you are doing to keep your children engaged with their learning. The amount of work being completed and the contact that teachers have had from students has been really encouraging. I hope that you feel well supported by the learning activities and feedback set by your […]
