• NEW PAPERLESS PARENT NEWSLETTER

  Thu 22 Nov 2018

  We are trialling a new paperless Parent Newsletter called SWAY.

  Hopefully over the coming months we will be able to stop using a paper copy of the Parent Newsletter being photocopied and sent home in school bags. Instead, you will be able to read the newsletter on your phone, tablet or computer.

• CHILDREN IN NEED BIG LEARNER RELAY

  Mon 05 Nov 2018
  We will be raising money for Children in Need on Friday 16th November. The children will have a non-uniform day and bring in a donation for the charity. We will be giving our money to one of our school parents, Paul Scott, who is taking part in the Big Learner Relay in aid of Children in Need. Paul and a fellow driving instructor came to speak to the pupils and brought his spotty car to school last week, and we were able to write a few messages on his car to show our support.
