Dear Parent/Carer,

As we come to the end of the first term, we are now in a position to review our systems and practices, and have decided to make some adjustments to the timings of the day for Year 8.

The new timings are outlined below and essentially mean that Year 8 students will need to arrive earlier than previously and will have tutor time first thing in the morning rather than last thing in the afternoon. They will also finish earlier as a result. Students should continue to enter via the Elsa Road gate.

We hope that this change will enable our Year 8 students to have a calm and focused start to the day and to engage fully with our tutor curriculum.

These changes will come into effect from the first day back after half term - Monday 2 November 2020. Thank you for your continuing support in ensuring that your child is punctual to school.
