We cannot wait to welcome all of our fantastic students to PROUD Friday tomorrow! We are also super excited to welcome a special guest this week! Who will it be? #OutcomesFocused #PROUDtoDoWell

Attendance matters - ensure yours is the best it can be! We know that students who are in front of their teachers make more progress than those who are not. We can't wait to welcome you all for a great week of learning!

For the theme of the week this week we are focusing on all things science! We are asking students how science has shaped their lives. Mr Sunter will be delivering this week's assembly with some fascinating facts #CuriousAboutLearning

Tomorrow's assessments are below. We look forward to seeing our Y11 students for their warm-up sessions at 7:40 am. Enrichment tomorrow is maths - starting at 2:20 until 3:30. #OutcomesFocused #DoWell

Reminder that PROUD Friday is back on tomorrow and we cannot wait to see you there! 💜 Since we are in the middle of our STEP assessments, PROUD for Y7 will be in the library. Make sure you remember to pick your book up P1-3 as you will not be able to during lunch. #PROUD

We are so PROUD of all of our year 11s' hard work, effort and dedication shown so far this week for their STEP 4 assessments. A reminder of the timetable can be found below ⬇️ #DoWell #OutcomesFocused
