WEDNESDAY 23 FEBRUARY<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Hot Meal<\/strong>: Carrot and coriander soup, Roast chicken, potatoes and vegetables or Omelette and chips, peas or salad.<\/p>\n

Assemblies (Mr Allan)<\/strong>
\nWe will now able to hold assemblies again. Assemblies take place next week as follows;<\/p>\n

Tuesday:<\/strong> Adam Smith
\nWednesday:<\/strong> Carlyle
\nThursday:<\/strong> Oswald<\/p>\n

Because we have not had assemblies for the last 2 years, tutor time will be extended by 5 minutes on each of those days next week. Period 1 starts at 9am.<\/p>\n

When the first bell goes (at 8.41am) you should go straight to the Hall and sit with your Tutor Group. Tutor teachers are asked to report to the Hall a few minutes early please, in order to show their pupils where to sit. Each class has two rows of seats and the spaces are numbered 1-9 on the left as you enter and 10-18 on the right. There are numbers on the assembly hall floor to guide you. For example, pupils in A10 will sit in the front rows on the right side (as you enter) on Tuesday morning. Tutor group C05 are in the middle of the left block on Wednesday and O18 sit at the back right on Thursday. Teachers are being sent a seating plan they will share with pupils this week. You’ll soon get the hang of it.<\/p>\n

Please sit quietly with your bag under your seat while your teacher takes the register (on paper). The main input to the assembly itself will come from the Guidance Team on this occasion. There will be year group assemblies the following week. Arrangements are different and will be explained next week. Many thanks.<\/p>\n
