    Notification of Yr 9 Options Evening - Thurs 7th March 2024


    Dear Families

    Notification of Yr 9 Options Evening - Thurs 7th March 2024

    I hope you are keeping well. As you will be aware, your child will be making important decisions soon about what to study at Key Stage 4, in Years 10 and 11. They will have some compulsory subjects and will have some subjects which they can choose. It is important that they are as well-informed as possible and that you have all the information needed to help guide them to making the right decisions.

    Dear Parents / Carers

    I hope that you and your families are well. As we embark on the new calendar year and as our academic year is well underway I felt that it would be timely to remind both parents and students of what our minimum standards and expectations are. I am pleased to report significant improvements over the past year surrounding behaviour and many of the recommendations identified by OFSTED have been addressed. I wish to thank parents as always for their support in ensuring all our children have access to a conducive learning environment.
