Dear Parent/Carer, RE
UNAVOIDABLE SCHOOL CLOSURE – TUESDAY 2 MAY 2017
Following the text which was sent yesterday regarding the above closure I am writing to give a full explanation. You may have heard that Malcolm Hargreaves, a long standing teacher of Maths at the school, sadly passed away recently. His wife and daughter, Mrs S Hargreaves and Miss K Hargreaves also currently work at school as members of our student support staff. A large proportion of staff have requested to attend the funeral which would make keeping the school open for all year groups very difficult. I am sure that you will agree that it is important that we mark and celebrate the life of Malcolm. Therefore the school will be closed on Tuesday 2 May 2017 for all students apart from year 11 who will attend school as normal. I apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause you, however, I am sure you appreciate that it is important that we pay our respects appropriately on the day. Best Wishes,
! Mr P Trickett Headteacher
