Students are invited to wear a Christmas jumper to school* on this day and to make a £1 donation** which will go to Save the Children. By taking part and donating, you are helping children build a better future within the UK and worldwide.

*Students should wear their normal school uniform (including blazers for Years 7 and 8) but can wear a Christmas jumper instead of a School jumper.

**Donations can be paid via Parent Pay from Monday 7th December

Last week Years 7-P16 celebrated their success of being nominated for Student of the Month.

Staff across the school in all departments nominate students for various reasons from excellent work in lessons, being a good citizen around the school to trying their best in a certain subject.

Well done to all students, we hope you enjoyed your hot chocolate, treat and your extended break time.

We look forward to next month's celebrations.

Dear Parent/Carer

As we move from National Lockdown into Tier 2 from Wednesday 2nd December, it is a good time to reiterate the procedures the school has in place.

I would like to reassure that the health and safety of our staff and students is paramount and we continue to maintain our COVID 19 health and safety precautions of social distancing, wearing of masks, hand washing/sanitising around the school site.

Can I take this opportunity to remind you of government guidance re: COVID-19:

Do not send your child into the school if anyone in your household is showing symptoms of COVID 19
Inform the school of these absences
Book a test - the whole household must isolate until the test result is received
Inform the school of the results
If the result is negative and if your child is well enough, then they can return to the school.
If the result is positive, your entire household must isolate for 14 days.

We would welcome parental support to enforce that your child wears a face mask in communal areas*.(* exceptions where exemptions have been shared with the school on legitimate grounds).

Finally, thank you for your ongoing support

Mr Erwin

Principal
