Dear Parent Carers, Weekly Update: 11/07/25 I hope this update finds you well. With the temperature being incredibly hot today, and the current forecast for warmer weather to continue into next week, we are supporting students to stay as cool as possible. If they wish, students are able to spend time in the shaded areas of the playground at break and lunchtime. To keep cool, students are allowed to wear cooler clothing – including shorts and a t-shirt. Please make sure that your child/young person has a refillable bottle in school, and that they have a hat/cap and suncream for when they are outside. Shaw Education Trust Survey Earlier in the week, a link was shared for the Shaw Education Trust’s latest Parental Survey. The Trust are really keen to get your thoughts – both on the Trust and the school – and we all appreciate your engagement with the survey. The survey itself can take up to 15 minutes to complete, but the results will inform us of what we are doing well, what we could get better at, which in turn supports the provision for all of our students. Thank you your support with this. Please follow this link to complete the survey: https://edurio.com/poll/E4Qz7k Summer Support Leaflet The rest of this week’s update focusses on the summer holidays, with support, advice and some activities that are available during the summer. If you have any queries regarding support that is available, please get in touch with our Family Support Team. With best wishes,
Sabrina Hobbs Principal
