25th April 2025 Dear Parent Carers, Weekly Update: 25/04/25 I hope this update finds you well and rested after the Easter break. As always, it’s great to return to school to catch-up with our school community. This half term is especially short, but as you can see from the events below, lots will be taking place over the coming weeks. Other activities not mentioned below will include the start of summer examinations for some students in Year 11 and Year 13 at the beginning of May. A letter has been sent to families of students in Year 9 and Year 10 regarding Options Day and Options Evening, as we prepare students for their transitions and decisions on which subjects to study in September 2025. Please get in touch if you have any specific queries regarding these days ahead of these events. Headteacher Recruitment Over the next few weeks, recruitment activities are taking place as the Shaw Education Trust seek my replacement. We currently expect interviews to take place before the May half term, and will keep families updated of progress made. Dates for your diaries: Date 30th April – 1st May 5th May 6th – 7th May 7th-9th May
