    Message from the Head Teacher - Yr 7, 8 & 9


    Dear Parents and Carers

    I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support throughout this difficult time.  We are extremely proud of our students and the way they have adjusted to remote and independent learning.  I do appreciate that this is not an easy time and lockdown will have presented with many different pressures along the way.  It has been a year like no other and I’m sure we’ll emerge into a different sense of normal when we get through it.  The time has given us the opportunity to reflect on many things but hopefully we will all value the importance of education that much more and not take it for granted.  The ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement also gives us a reminder that part of our job as educators is to lift the blindness and ignorance that still exists in our world today.

It is used by billions of people all over the world and has slowly evolved over the years, now offering more than just a simple text messaging service. More recently, it has introduced ‘Messenger Rooms’ in a bid to rival other video calling software platforms, such as Zoom for instance.
