Welcome back to school everyone! We wish everyone a very Happy New Year.

Please remember that lessons start promptly at 8.30am and everybody should be at their desks by then, ready to start work.

We have started school on a snowy footing but pupils must remember that boots and wellingtons should only be worn when there is snow and school shoes should be worn at all other times in school.

The PTA meeting is on Tuesday 11th Jan 2011 at 6.15pm in the school library. It is the first meeting of the new year and we would love to see everybody there, especially new parents to the group. Please come along and meet other parents and staff.

Year 10 and Year 11 pupils have Science exams on Thursday 13th Jan 2011 and so should be revising in preparation.

Many thanks to all the pupils, parents, friends and staff who made last terms’school production one of our most successful productions to date, We hope that the audience had as much fun as the cast and crew.
