School Newsletter for Parents - February 2007

Dear Parents,

As we end this half term, I just wanted to say “thank you” for supporting the school in the way that you have. Our students have always arrived on time and attendance so far this term has been very good despite the recent weather. The next half term will require your continued support especially as some of our students prepare for their Entry level exams in March and coursework which is due to be submitted in May.

Three students are working towards a GCSE ICT course, where they will take exams in May and June, whilst coursework also has to be submitted in May.

I will be providing parents of students taking exams this year, with a set of dates and course guidance explaining how they can help ensure the best possible outcomes for their son or daughter.

Parent’s Evening

An opportunity to meet and discuss your child’s progress with members of the team will take place on Wednesday 21st February from 4:00pm. Please do take this opportunity to meet with the subject specialists.

‘Pick-up’ teas and coffees

I have given considerable thought to creating an ‘open-house’ time for parents to come into the school towards the end of the school day, where you can feel free to enter the school from 3:30pm each day. Please help yourselves to tea and coffee and enjoy the warmth of the dining hall area where you might have moments to talk with other parents.

Wishing you a very happy week ahead and I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday 18th February at the next Cinema Club. Details are on the school website. The new half term resumes at the usual time on Monday 19th February.

Kind regards
