End of Year 2012

Dear Parents/Carers

I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that school will close for the summer break on Friday, 20 July at 1.15 pm, when the usual buses and taxis will arrive to take students home.  Friday, 20 July will be a non-uniform day and we are asking for a minimum contribution of £1.00, to go to the Year Charity, from those students wishing to come in their own clothes.

The school will re-open for all students on Wednesday, 5 September 2012.  

From September Governors wish to improve the experience that students have during the lunch break. Currently, all of our students share the same 45 minute lunch break.  In a school with a rising intake, we believe that it is a sensible and pragmatic step to create two distinct lunch times of 30 minutes each.  These new arrangements will also provide opportunities to organise a range of enrichment, musical, sporting, pastoral and academic activities, based around tutor groups.  The school day will continue to start at 9.00am but will end at 3.00pm with the school buses leaving no earlier than 3.10.

The new timetable for the changes to the school day can be found overleaf.  if you have any questions related to it, then please do not hesitate to contact Mr Parker at school.

Just a reminder that there are two sessions for you to buy new uniform for September this term as well as some days in the holidays listed below:

Thursday    5th July          3.00 pm to 7.00 pm     Fred Wilson Community Hall
Thursday    19th July        3.30 pm  to 7.00 pm    Fred Wilson Community Hall
Tuesday    24th July         11.00 am to 2.00 pm    Main Reception
Tuesday    31st July         11.00 am to 2.00 pm    Main Reception
Tuesday    7th August     11.00 am to 2.00 pm    Main Reception
Tuesday    14th August   11.00 am to 2.00 pm    Main Reception
 
On behalf of all the staff and Governors I would like to thank you for your support during the year and to wish you and your family a happy, relaxing and safe holiday.

Yours sincerely,

Gerard Moran
Head Teacher
