Careers of the Week
We’re pleased to share that what was previously called the Parent Bulletin is now the Community Bulletin. This change reflects the growing interest from our students to stay informed and engaged with school news and developments. We’re proud to be a community school, and this change better reflects our shared involvement and values.
A special welcome to our new Year 7 students and their families who will officially join us in September. We are excited to welcome you into our community and look forward to all that the new school year will bring.
We would also like to draw your attention to our Sponsorship Page. As many of you are aware, we’ve been highlighting the ongoing funding crisis facing schools for a number of years. Sadly, the situation has not improved, and we now find ourselves with no option but to turn directly to our community for support.
If we are to continue offering the very best facilities, resources, and opportunities for our young people, we need your help.
Here’s how you can support us:
• £20.25 Challenge – Over 800 of our students have not yet completed this simple fundraising challenge. Every contribution helps.
• Corporate Sponsorship – If your company, or one you know of, would be open to supporting a school project, please do get in touch. We are always grateful for support in kind or financial sponsorship.
We remain committed to providing the best possible education and environment for our students and thank you for your continued support and partnership.
