    Snow Closure Update


    Dear families 

    I hope that you are keeping safe and warm.  Site staff have been on the yard all day today trying to break the sheet of ice in the emergency evacuation areas.  While there has been some success with this, temperatures are due to drop again this evening to -3 with a further weather warning issued.

  • School Closure - Update 8th January 2025

    School Closure - Update 8th January 2025


    Dear families 

    I am sure you will appreciate my priority this morning was to risk assess the school site and let you know a decision as soon as possible.  

    I write further to explain my decision to close.  Unfortunately, the pathways cleared yesterday by our site staff have frozen over and conditions on the yard are treacherous.   Our main yard and ball yard are evacuation points should an emergency occur.  As such, the current conditions mean it would be difficult and dangerous to gather students in such a situation posing a serious health and safety risk to all.

    End of Year letter from the Headteacher


    Dear Families

    As the academic year comes to an end, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my deepest gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support and collaboration throughout the year. It has been a year of growth, learning, and numerous achievements, all of which were made possible through our collective efforts.

    As we come to the last week of term, we look forward to embarking on our two experience days. I would like to remind students and parents that exemplary behaviour and conduct is required during these two days, especially pupils who are representing our college when on trips. Attendance over the remaining week of school is compulsory and non-attendance could result in an Education Penalty Notice (EPN).
