Christ has no body but yours, No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes with which He looks compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world. Amen.
PARENTS AS PARTNERS Parents and students are reminded that all students’ mobile ‘phones must be switched off between 8:45am and 3:30pm and not be used for any reason during the day. Failure to comply with this rule may result in items being confiscated which will then have to be collected from the College by a parent. If a student is ill and uses the ‘sick room’, then the office staff must contact home, not the student on their mobile ‘phone. Thank you for your on-going support wit this matter

A CHARITABLE SUCCESS We raised £350.38 (including Gift Aid) at our Macmillan Coffee morning on Friday 26 September. Associate Staff and the Leadership team supplied a delicious selection of cakes and a team of enthusiastic Sixth Form volunteers served teas & coffees (even to staff on duty), collected Gift Aid signatures and blew up the balloons! A fine time was enjoyed by all. Thanks to everyone who supported this event.
