Weekly Update

Senior Student Leaders

It is the time of the year when we start to think about which year eleven youngsters will help assist teaching and support staff at lunchtimes. We will be announcing who these youngsters will be next week as well as posting what their role will be on the school website. Interview and presentations by our potential Head boy and Head girl candidates will be taking place over the next couple of the weeks. When decisions are made we will be letting you know of our decisions via the website.

Contact with the school

If you have any concern about any issue at the school your first point of contact must be your child’s form tutor if the issue is not resolved then more senior members of staff will deal with any issues. If you wish to speak to any member of the senior leadership team we would respectfully ask you to make an appointment by phoning the school office. I realise we have been particularly difficult to contact due to the impact of the fire. This has caused us as much frustration as it has you. Normal communication channels are now back in place at last!

Changes to the schools staffing and support structures

Please note that I will be placing a number of short documents on the school website (under the parents tab) that provide an overview of recent changes at the school.These will explain the rationale for these changes and their current progress. I would encourage you to read them.

Buildings Update

We are encouraged by our initial conversations with our insurers and the county council about the refurbishment of the main block. We are optimistic that the process will result in
1. Improved ICT and Mathematics provision
2. Improved Design and Technology facilities
3. Some bigger classrooms for other subject areas
4. Some improved potential community facilities

We will keep you updated as the process continues.
