Head Teacher's Message
Once again, we have had a very successful and busy start to the new term. Despite the unusually hot weather, students have settled in well. We understand that, after the long break, readjusting to school routines may result in students feeling more tired than usual. Therefore, do not be surprised if your child seems particularly fatigued this weekend.
Over the next two weeks, our staff look forward to meeting you at the relevant information evenings (please see dates below). These events offer a valuable opportunity to learn more about the year ahead, ways to support your child at home, and to meet your child's Head of Year and Academic Tutor.
This weekend, if you haven't already done so, please review your child's study planner. Specifically, ensure that you have read and signed page 6. Also, please take a moment to look through their new books and log in to the Parent Portal (Arbor).
Families with children in Years 8 to 11 will notice that we have updated some of our communication methods. Alongside the main school email address, a complete list of staff email addresses is available on our website here. You can find your child's teachers by logging into your Arbor account and checking your child’s timetable. Also, Arbor now provides more detailed information about merits and demerits, which we hope you will find useful.
We are also thrilled to share that, against a backdrop of national grade deflation, our students have surpassed last year's results. We are immensely proud of their achievements and are confident that our current and future Year 11 cohorts will continue this trend. For more information on this year's GCSE results, please visit our website.
Finally, I'm pleased to announce that work has commenced on our new sports centre and the redevelopment of the playing fields on Craneford Way is progressing well.
