As last year's Year 11 pupils and parents will be aware, the Summer Prom had to be postponed from its original date in June 2020. We had hoped that it may be able to take place later in the year, if restrictions were lifted. Sadly, due to the current Covid-19 situation, the event is unable to take place, so the Year 11 Prom has now been cancelled.

To help us to protect all of our pupils and staff during these difficult times, we have recently introduced a new Pupil Absence Questionniare. This questionniare will be sent to parents of any child who is off school due to illness or isolation on each day that they are absent. Please can we ask that this quick and easy form is completed and returned to school on a daily basis until your child returns to school.
Thank you very much for your help and support.

Please could you ensure that you text your son or daughter when you arrive to pick them up from Prep. Pupils will not be permitted to leave Prep until they have this written confirmation as the message will need to be shown to a member of staff before they leave.
Thank you very much.

Please may you check that your child has returned their locker key from last year to the Student Hub, otherwise there will be a £5 charge on your next invoice.
