Message from Mrs Wardle about Parents' Evenings

Due to the recent school closure because of bad weather, the Year 10 parents' evening has been moved to Thursday 11 March and any appointments already made will transfer to this date. Parents should have received the Year 10 reports which were due home on 11 February and were sent home on Monday 22 February.

Thank you for your continued understanding over this difficult term due to the adverse weather conditions we have experienced over the last few weeks.

Anne Wardle, Acting Headteacher
