Parents

We have been in contact several times regarding our teaching and revision programme before and during the GCSE exam period. We have stressed throughout that exam leave commences for students at the end of the day on Friday 7th June.

• All students are expected in all lessons until Friday 7th June
• Attendance at the School Prom will be reviewed for those students who are found to have left the school without permission during the school day or whose absence from school is unauthorised. We must be able to trust students to follow our instructions at that event.
• We may also consider removing access to the Celebration Day in June for students who leave the school without permission during the school day or whose absence from school is unauthorised.
• We will be monitoring lesson by lesson attendance carefully between now and the 7th June.

Headteacher Appointment

We are pleased to inform you that the Governors have appointed Ms Jo Hawkin to be our new Headteacher from 1 September. This followed a very intensive interview process in which the position was nationally advertised and a two day interview selection held. Ms Hawkin is of course our current Deputy Headteacher and so will be able to ensure a smooth transfer of leadership.
