The Flagpole

The Right Reverend William Kenny, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Birmingham will celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation in the College Chapel on Friday 3 March 2023.

Medical Centre staff would like to remind parents that if the medical needs of your son/daughter have changed over the holidays please do let us know so we can support them whilst they are at school.

Please email at PCMatrons@princethorpe.co.uk or telephone 01926 634214 for Matron or one of the School Nurses.

As a rule, property should not be left at school overnight or at weekends. The school is in constant use by outside teams, clubs and organisations so we cannot control access to belongings if they have been left at school at these times.  

All items found will be stored safely at the Student Hub. They can then be collected at break or lunch time.

Parents can email lostproperty@princethorpe.co.uk about any items that have been lost. We will then email a response back as quickly as we can.

Please note that if a lost item does not have a name label then it is almost impossible to return it to its owner.

We do want to ensure that pupils take responsibility for their belongings, in particular their valuables, and not to leave items around the school. For this reason we do discourage pupils from bringing valuable items into school at all.

This year we are managing our detention system slightly differently to how they have been in previous years.

Detentions will be held daily as follows: 

Years 7, 8 and 9 Tuesday at 1.05pm in F23A

Years 10 and 11 Thursday at 1.05pm in F23A

Detentions will be set if a pupil receives three LLCs (which includes uniform and mobile phone violations) or one HLC per half term.

Three lates per half term will also result in a lunchtime detention. 

One HLC per half term will automatically lead to a Friday after school detention for a pupil. 

Three detentions equals a Saturday morning detention. Parents will be notified in advance if their child is expected to attend an after school detention via an isams email message.

Please can I take this opportunity to ask parents to remind their children of the importance of good conduct and organisation in school. Pupils failing to comply with the Princethorpe College Code of Conduct may put themselves and others as risk of harm.
