The sun is shining, and the atmosphere is fantastic as sports day 2022 is well underway!

 More photos from all the events of the day will be made available to view on the website gallery. 

Sports day will be held this coming Friday, 8 July and your son may come to school wearing his PE kit however we would be grateful if he could remember to bring his canteen card too. Lesson 1 will be as normal, and events will begin lesson 2; I'm afraid we are unable to open the event to parents due to capacity around the school, but we will make sure plenty of photographs are available to view afterwards.

It is predicted to be a hot day therefore we would be grateful if you make sure your son brings a water bottle, that can be refilled during the day, and apply/bring sun cream on the day.

We will also have an ice cream van arrive after lunch, and would ask that you give your son a small amount of money to bring for this if he wishes to.

Information for all settings to celebrate ‘Thank a Teacher Day’

DfE is supporting ‘Thank a Teacher Day’ on Thursday 26 May.

The department supports the campaign as teachers, support staff, and everyone working in education have gone above and beyond for this country’s children and young people, preparing the next generation to make the very best of their lives.

Say thank you to an amazing educator, from teaching assistants to school leaders, nursery staff to FE lecturers, by sending a free, personalised card for Thank a Teacher Day.

The Thank a Teacher campaign celebrates everyone working in education for the incredible work they do and there are plenty of opportunities for schools, pupils and parents to get involved.

We are very proud of our Year 8 Pupil Sam Hall who is on a mission to raise as much money as he can to help those in Ukraine. Read the full story below.

Well done to the Prefect team for organising a school wide Easter egg raffle. Over £200 was raised, with all the proceeds going to the Ukraine appeal. Thank you to all those people who donated eggs or purchased tickets for this very worthy cause.  Winners have been notified and can collect their prizes from the Sixth Form office. 

We are pleased to report that our non-uniform day has already raised over £1000 so far today with many further donations still being received. Firstly, this was timed to support the national charity Comic Relief on Red Nose Day and secondly, we will split donations to support The International Red Cross, particularly needed to support the refugee crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine. Students and staff were encouraged to wear non-uniform clothes preferably with a red, blue or yellow theme, and they didn't disappoint! Thank you to everybody that contributed, and we will announce the final total next week.
