Examination Certificates Certificates for examinations taken in the summer have now been distributed to Fifth Year and Sixth Form students through their Tutor Groups. These certificates are valuable documents and will be required for future university applications and prospective employers throughout your son/daughter’s working careers. They cannot be replaced. The certificates will need to be signed for and must be taken home for safe and secure keeping.
his has been an exceptionally busy half of term marked particularly by a full sporting calendar and the wonderful singing of the choir, ably supported by our instrumentalists, at the Carol Service at Romsey Abbey.
We are very pleased with the progress of the new theatre and art complex which hopes to be weather proof in the first half of the spring term. Click here to see how it is developing.
Internet Safety Seminar for Parents Tuesday 24 January, 2017 at 7.00pm in the Hospitality Suite
Students in the Fifth Year will have plenty of work to do as they prepare for mid-sessional examinations in January. They will need a rest but some revision will also be necessary.
Safety with new technology can be a worry for parents. Pupils receive sessions on Safe Social Networking, On-line Profiles, Cyber Bullying and Internet Safety as part of the School’s PSHE programme but we would also like to offer parents the opportunity to receive up to date information from experts in the field. Childnet International (www.childnet.com) has worked with the government, online industry, adults and children and is a nationally respected organisation.
We continue to appreciate your support with maintaining high standards of dress; we like students to remain smart at all times and one or two boys would merit a visit to the barber.
The new term begins on Wednesday 4 January and, until then, I wish you a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. AJ Thould Head Master
We are delighted to let you know that they will be delivering the talk to parents on the evening of the 24 January. The session will cover some simple, practical steps that you can take in order to minimise the risks to which your child is exposed and will also provide you with advice to share with them. The seminar is expected to last for about 1 hour with the opportunity to ask questions at the end.
THERE WILL BE LATE BUSES on Wednesday 4 January 2017
