On Wednesday 09th October, we are holding a parent/carer consultation evening where there is the opportunity to meet with your young person's tutor. Al letter will go home with young people tonight. Slips need to be returned to school by Friday 04th October.

A reminder to all families that pantomime reply slips need to be brought into school by Tuesday 01 October.

This afternoon the 6th form held their Macmillan event.
Families and young people enjoyed getting together and having a cuppa and cake.

There was a wonderful 'guess the weight of the cake' competition. The winner was Quinn whose guess was closed to the answer of 1465g.
...
