Casting back to Christmas Jumper Day - thank you for all of your support and donations to this worthy cause. Parent Pay is now closed for donations and we will shortly transfer across that amount to our JustGiving Page. Together we have raised a total of £849.50 which is a wonderful amount and will go some way to helping those children, both here in the UK and further afield, who need the support of charities like Save the Children.
Thank you to all of the Y11 families who were able to join us on Wednesday for your last parent consultations with us. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces and emotional for some as this was their last official face to face meeting with us (however, we still have the Graduation evening to look forward to!). We were grateful to receive wonderful feedback from so many of you on the education, care and support that you and your children have experienced and felt over the last 5 years together. It really does mean more than you realise for myself and teachers to hear and receive these comments - so thank you.
Hoping you all stay safe and warm this weekend.

Harrison and Ian had between 30 and 10 seconds to put their point of view across to their partner before the partner then had to defend/argue against their view.
