27th April 2016 Welcome back to the summer term. Nearly two weeks in and we have already held: concerts (thank you to so many families for the amazing comments and praise), Yr 7 parents evening (almost 100% turn out and again so many positives about the transition from primary school), public art exams, assemblies plus all the lessons and extra-curricular activities that we offer. And yet the weather hasn’t appeared to move on – as yesterday’s hail storm showed! Although much of staff leadership and governor time is being spent planning ahead, we must remember to enjoy what is to come in the near future. This is an opportunity to remind you of the importance of children being at school and also of our insistence on correct uniform (particularly at the moment with shoes – uniform does not include trainers or boots). I look forward to meeting many more parents as this term progresses. Alison Saunders - Headteacher
