It has been great to see the return of morning lines at the start of the school day. Unfortunately, the recent rain has meant that some have been interrupted, but we will continue whenever the weather allows. As a reminder, all students are expected to be in the correct school uniform and uniform checks will take place in lines. Please check that your child has the expected PE kit.

I would also like to remind parents and carers that absences must be reported every day of absence using the Arbor app. This is especially important for safeguarding purposes, as it allows us to ensure that all children are safe and accounted for. Thank you for your cooperation in supporting this vital aspect of school life.
I would like to thank all parents and carers who attended the Year 9 Parents’ Evening on Thursday. It was a great success and provided a valuable opportunity for constructive conversations between home and school. My thanks also go to our teachers for their time, preparation and commitment to supporting our students.
The Year 9 options process will be taking place later this year, and further information will be sent out shortly to parents and students to guide them through this important stage.
We are very proud of the opportunities being offered beyond the classroom. Thank you to Mr Lyle for taking six drama students to the National Theatre to see Ballet Shoes. It was an excellent performance, and our students represented the school superbly throughout the visit.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of the school and our students.
