Principal's update 7 June 2024

Published on 07/06/24

Dear Parents and Carers

Welcome back to all our students after half term. Our Y11 students continue with their GCSE exams, whilst our Y9 students will begin their assessment week on Monday. Well done to our Y7 and Y8 students who have been completing assessments in their lessons over the last few weeks.

You will be aware that the Department for Education issues guidance that schools must follow regarding uniform. The guidance encourages schools to give high priority to the importance of the cost and affordability of the uniform for families. As part of our on-going assessments, we have made the decision with our supplier to no longer offer the school hoodie for all future purchases of uniform. Sweatshirts will continue to be available for purchase. This allows us to keep the number of branded items and the cost of our uniform as low as possible. Students that already have a hoodie will be able to continue to wear them. We appreciate your support on this matter.
