Recently, we have been working closely with traffic enforcement, and there has been an increase in drivers receiving fines for illegal parking. This includes parking in restricted zones, across driveways, on footpaths, or in ways that obstruct traffic or access for our neighbours and emergency services.

We ask all families to please plan extra time for drop-off and pick-up, and show courtesy to our local residents. These measures help keep our community safe, respectful, and accessible for everyone.

Thank you for your cooperation and ongoing support in helping us maintain positive relationships with our neighbours.

Juggling family life? We’re here to help.

Opening hours: Monday to Thursday: 8:30am – 5:00pm Friday: 8:30am – 4:30pm 

A selection of books will be available to buy throughout the week. If they would like to purchase one, students will need to either bring in cash or a Bags of Books pre-paid voucher (the QR code on the flyer will take you through to the website where vouchers can be purchased). Bags of Books will also be accepting the World Book Day £1 book tokens; this gives students £1 off any book priced at £2.99 or higher. Students will receive one of these next week. 

All KS3 students will have a chance to visit the book fair during an English lesson and to peruse the fair at break and lunch too. 

Many thanks for supporting reading and our local book shop.

Thank you as always for your support of our work in the Music Department.

We have had a great first week back after half term - we even had 2 days of sunshine which our students enjoyed very much! 

This term is short but with lots going on; I look forward to telling you all about it in the coming weeks.

I want to thank you all again for your supporting during the Ofsted week, we are awaiting our report and we look forward to sharing it with you all when it is published.

On another note, since I arrived at this school I have made it clear that our sporting facilities need to improve. We are relying on community support to help us get a 3g pitch which can be used for our wider community. Please see 'Letters home this week' section of the newsletter for more information. I will ask that as many people sign this as possible: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=9qeOYAOcO0CLKk4b_MOHtf6iffWE-bNJh_eFXZMOzohUMlYyUE8zT0pYUEs2UzBIMlowUUcxM1o1Vy4u
