We realise there was a problem yesterday at Year 10 parents' evening for approximately 1 hour with the Edulink video consultations. We apologise for the inconvenience caused. We are currently investigating the issue and considering ways of you catching up with your son's progress.

Well done to everyone who has participated in the Holiday Reading Challenges; it's been lovely to hear what you thought about the selected books. Congratulations to Lucien W for winning the prize for the best review of A Christmas Carol and Kyron J for winning the prize for the best review of Around the World in 80 Days!

We have arranged a non-uniform day on Friday 18 March in aid of two good causes. Firstly, this is timed to support the national charity Comic Relief on Red Nose Day, traditionally at this time of year. 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 are invited to pay the minimum of £1.00, more if possible, since it will be supporting both charities this year. Students may wear non-uniform clothes, preferably with a red, blue or yellow theme if they wish to show support for either cause. Contributions will be collected at morning registration and will all go directly towards the charities concerned. Students are welcome to wear a red nose as well if they so wish, although red noses will not be on sale in school.

There will be lots going on, so please join in the fun!

Year 7 form competition for most impressive achievement and behaviour in Term 3 goes to 7SI. Form tutor Miss Irinoye said "7SI have had a fantastic term; every week they give their all during lessons displaying the Borden values in all they do, and I have been so impressed. I hope you all have a well deserved break during the half term period and I look forward to welcoming you back as reigning champs for Term 4! (Dare I say 2 for 2)".
