Are the upcoming prelims and exams causing stress and arguments in your house? Would you like the chance to work with your son and daughter to make the upcoming process more harmonious? Mrs Cutler and Miss Van Looy are running a study skills evening for parents and pupils to learn how they can best support each other through the stressful exam process.

Following the success of National PSA Day last year, Unison has rolled out National Stars in Our Schools Day – recognising the work of all our support staff. Today the school thanked all the staff who work hard everyday making the school run smoothly and supporting young people.
All our support staff enjoyed a small token of our appreciation – for some of our heroes, it was an appropriately named chocolate treat!
The Pupil Support Assistants had a lovely morning break with cakes and tea/coffee made by Head Teacher, Mr Sinclair.
It was a good opportunity to make sure the staff were recognised for all their hard work and to show our appreciation.
