Monday 20th May 2024

 

Dear Parents, Carers and Students,

Welcome to our newsletter for the sixth week of the Summer Term 2024 and the final four days of our academic year 2023 -24. Students in Years 7-10 and Year 12 will progress to their new year groups when they return after the half-term break on Monday 3rd June 2024, marking the start of the school’s new academic year 2024-25. Timetables will be issued to families by email during the course of this week in order for students to come to school fully prepared for their new classes after half-term.

Friday 24th May 2024 will be an INSET Day - our focus will be looking at our new 5-Year School Development Plan 2024-2029; I will be sharing details of this over the coming weeks in this newsletter. The school will be closed to students that day with the exception of those taking Public Examinations.

My thanks for your continued support of the school throughout this very busy half-term. I wish you all a restful half-term break and look forward to seeing students return to start their new academic year on Monday 3rd June at the usual time of Registration at 8:40am.

With best wishes for the week ahead.

Stephen Davis
