Assemblies
Next Week
No Assemblies Next WeekI just wanted to thank everybody for making the Primary pupil visit such a success over the last 3 days. Everyone made the pupils feel welcome and the feedback has been very positive. We look forward to welcoming them back as our first year in August
I would particularly like to thank the staff and pupils who
arranged special activities, also Ms Pretswell and the senior pupils who did a
tremendous job making sure the visitors all arrived at the right place at the
right time. Well done and thank you all!

Lunch
cards
A large number of pupils are forgetting to bring their lunch cards
on a regular basis. Whilst the office staff do not want you to go hungry they
do not have the time or resources to keep supplying you with your number.
With large queues of pupils at break and lunchtime persistent offenders may
have to be turned away by office staff so please remember to bring your card!!
