INSET Day Tomorrow & Half Term Break
School will be closed tomorrow, Friday 23rd May, for an INSET Day, meaning there will be no school for students.
This will be followed by the half term break so we hope everyone enjoys a well earned rest!
We look forward to seeing all our students back on Monday 2nd June.
Easter Break & End of Term Reminders
Tomorrow, Friday 11th April, is a Non-Uniform Day and school will be finishing early at 12:30pm. Please make sure any collection arrangements are in place.
We’ll then break up for the Easter holidays, with two full weeks off. When we return, Monday 28th and Tuesday 29th April will be INSET days for staff training, so students will not be in school on these days.
Students will return on Wednesday 30th April at the normal time.
Wishing everyone a lovely Easter break!

Red Nose Day - Friday 21st March 2025

Students are invited to take part in a non-uniform day and are encouraged to wear appropriate clothing. They can also add a splash of red if they wish, such as red accessories but there is no expectation to do so.
