20th July 2016 Dear Parent/ Guardian, As the students’ thoughts turn to the long and – hopefully – hot summer holidays, we are busy preparing for the Autumn term restart! Can I draw your attention to the following arrangements for the beginning of term in September as there are a couple of changes to the normal start to the year: Monday 5th September – Yr 7 & Yr 11 return at 10am. No other students in school. As well as our Intro to Year 7 events, this year we have a special Year 11 Prep4theFuture day planned to help the students settle into the final important year of GCSE/ exam preparations. Tuesday 6th September – Yr 8 return at 9am. All other years begin at 10am. Wednesday 7th September onwards – normal school for all, 8.45am registration.
We have also devised a new comprehensive after-school programme called Xtend. On Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday evenings we will be introducing new sports teams, clubs and activities to increase the levels of after-school participation. All staff are expected to be involved at least 1 night per week as are all Year 7 & 8 students. There will be a special Freshers Fair event in the first week to allow students to see the range of activities on offer and sign up for their favourites.
If you have any questions regarding this information please contact us at school, the reception will be staffed throughout the holiday. Can I take this opportunity to thank you all for the support over the past year and wish all of our students and their families a safe and happy Summer break.
Yours faithfully
P. Trickett Headteacher
