EXTREME WEATHER UPDATE
We will be operating modified school hours on Tuesday 23rd, Wednesday 24th, and Thursday 25th June, the school day will conclude for all students at 12:30 PM. This will ensure students are not in classrooms in the hottest part of the day. During these days students can wear their full PE Kit and ensure they have a refillable water bottle. There is no expectation for students to do additional work for the hours of school missed, however, work can be accessed from our website and educational platforms should they wish.
Students who are sitting their year 10 mock exams will continue to do so within these amended school time frames. Further communication will be shared as to exams which will not now take place as previously planned. -Business Tuesday 23rd PM - Citizenship Thursday 25th PM
Currently we are planning for a normal school day on Friday, however, this is constantly under review, due to changeable forecasts.
Food service will be available at break time and students who are entitled to a free school meal will be able to collect their lunch at break time.
“Pupils are happy and safe here. They appreciated being part of a school rooted in local history… Pupils valued their small school community where they are well known by staff and their peers. They enjoy caring professional relationships with staff. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ work and conduct.“
"The school is calm and orderly environment."
"Leaders have planned an ambitious curriculum for all pupils.. They build upon these important concepts each year. This careful sequencing helps pupils to build a deep body of knowledge in most subjects. Teachers give regular opportunities for pupils to revise prior learning, so that it is embedded."
"Pupils behave well in class and around the school. Disruption to learning is rare."
