Newsletter Parents/Carers News Expressions of interest for 2021 Ski Trip to Davos, Switzerland (12-20 February 2021) Due to the success of this year’s ski trip we are planning to run another trip during February half term next year, from 12-20 February, open to students in years 7-12. The total cost of the trip will be £1002. This includes around seven hours skiing tuition per day from British skiing instructors, hire of high quality ski equipment and a full entertainment programme each evening. We are asking for expressions of interest at this stage to see if the trip will be viable. Letters with full details of the trip will be available to collect from reception at both sites from Monday 9 March if your child is interested.
Reminder: Year 7 parent consultation evening 17 March 2020 at Lumsdale:
The year 7 parent consultation evening will take place on Tuesday 17 March in the sports hall at upper school site (Lumsdale) between 4pm and 7pm. At the meeting you will have the opportunity to discuss your child’s progress with subject teachers. We would encourage you to bring your son/daughter to this meeting so that they can contribute to the discussion. An appointment system is essential to the efficient running of the evening and we would ask you to ensure that your son/daughter makes appointments at times convenient to you, and that you keep to these times as far as possible. A maximum of five minutes per appointment is available because of the numbers in teaching groups. However, some members of staff teach several groups and may not have time to see all parents/carers. If you have real concerns in a particular subject, please do not hesitate to contact the member of staff at a later date if you are unsuccessful on the evening. The evening will end at 7pm promptly. Students will record appointments on an appointment sheet that they will be given on Tuesday 3 March. Please tell them the times you would like appointments and ask your child to ensure that no appointment is made after 6.45pm. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you. Mrs Hollinrake and Mrs Redhead Heads of Year 7
Be the best you can
