It is pleasing to see that so many students are finding “Show my Homework” a valuable resource.

Parent log-ons are also available to allow parents to have a detailed overview of the homework being set; please contact Mrs Hoyle if you would like your personalised log on.

We are glad that the text system is felt to be useful in keeping you informed about your child.

Thank you for the suggestion of emailing letters home. Following this suggestion we emailed last week’s letter on Friday. We hope it reached you.

We will investigate parent pay.

Our SCAMPs programme (clubs etc.) is continually evolving and changes every half term in response to student requests and feedback. There are usually at least 10 different clubs offered each day and before Christmas, there were 21 clubs on a Wednesday! If your child has a particular request, please ask them to speak to their form captain, Josh McGovern our Head Boy, Hannah Lightowler our Head Girl or Mrs Berry-Smith.
