Message from the Headteacher Dear Parents and Carers We now have a vacancy on the governing body for a Parent Governor. This is a really exciting opportunity for a parent to take an active role in their child’s school and its future. We have already sent out a letter to all parents with the necessary information and election letter. Please click here for the letter and I look forward to receiving nominations. This week was also an exciting week for our Year 9 cohort. We have officially started our Year 9 Options process & launched our pathways for students. On Tuesday, we held our Options Evening, where we spoke to parents/carers & students about their next steps. If you missed the evening & would like to watch the recording, you will find it on our microsite. The selection form is now also live on our microsite for parents to complete. As a school, we value our high expectations regarding uniform and behaviour. Please can I ask all parents/carers to check that their child’s uniform meets school expectations. Students should be wearing black plain leather shoes and girls’ skirts should be knee length. We are noticing that we are having to sanction more students around the rolling of their skirts and this is not acceptable. I would also highlight that both girls and boys can wear plain black trousers if they prefer. As I have previously explained, Period 1 is a very important part of our school day. For some students it is additional English, Maths and Science intervention, assemblies take place at this time and part of the Personal Development programme is also delivered during this time. Please ensure your child arrives promptly to school. They should be on site by 8.25am ready to go straight to period 1 at 8.30am. If a student arrives after this time, they will be marked late which is recorded using the ‘L’ code. Our school registers close at 9.30am, in practical terms this means that if a student arrives after 9.30am they will be marked as absent for the AM session to school. To avoid your child being marked as absent the parent/carer must contact the school giving justifiable and appropriate reasons for the lateness before registers close. For further guidance on this please click here to see our Attendance Policy. If you require any support with your son or daughter’s punctuality to school, or their attendance, please do contact their Academic Mentor or Year Progress Leader for support.
