Weekly Letter 07062024

Dear Parent/Carer

What a half term it’s been so far, and it’s only been a week!  Student uniform is looking good, and attendance has started well, too.  I wanted to update you on our next steps for our plans to develop our school:-

Punctuality – we’re looking at our systems for punctuality for students (both to school and to lessons) and we’ll be giving you more details about this in the near future.

Jewellery – we’re looking at reviewing our school’s policy on this ready for September; again, more details to follow in the near future.

 

Parent/Carer Survey

We’re really interested in your views as we plan for next academic year, and I’d massively appreciate you taking the time to complete our parent/carer survey by 21st June 2024.  It can be accessed through the following link: www.edurio.com/poll/6b0wXQ.
