In preparation for the summer exams a number of Year 11 students have been offered the opportunity to engage in our Immersion Programme which will focus on securing Grade C or better in English and Maths. Letters have been sent home to all students involved and we would encourage all parents and carers of Year 11 students to discuss after school revision opportunities and the Immersion Programme with their child.

We would like to remind all of our community that our new school timetable will begin on Monday 11th June and that all Year 10 students must have purchased their Year 11 ties no later than 31st May.

We have now conducted interviews to select our Prefects and will soon be able to announce the list of those who have been selected, together with our new Head Boy and Head Girl.

Theme of the Week: Sun Sense

In spite of the recent inclement weather we are entering a period of high risk for students in terms of sun damage to their skin. We would advise all parents and carers to provide sun block for their children, particularly for those with fair skin and especially on the days when they are outside taking part in PE lessons.

Please note that students are actively encouraged to carry a water bottle but fizzy drinks are strictly prohibited in school.

We would also like to take this opportunity to remind parents and carers that all mobile phones and IPods are strictly prohibited in school and would ask you please to avoid making contact with your children via their mobile phones during the school hours. Should you wish to make contact with them urgently, please ring the School Reception on 02392 693432 and they will get a message to your child.
