Last night was finally an opportunity to have detailed discussions with parents of year eleven students about the work that students are undertaking in the months leading up to grade submissions.

A day late with this week's update, but the school week is not yet over as we still have year groups coming into school today for the final set of school lateral flow tests.

Our first week back into this half-term and we are already expecting significant changes to take place over the next few weeks. I hope that you found the half-term break a chance to refuel. It was certainly good to see students and parents who came to the "resource bus" last Thursday.

Staff have been sending each other photographs of the school as the sun rises each day. We are really lucky to have such a beautiful environment around the school.

We hope you remain safe and well. There are a number of updates to our provision as we move over the next few weeks.

It has been a very strange week again, with the first few days of term unlike anything we had this time last year. In these changing times, we have become more accustomed to the need to adapt and change and this has certainly been one of those weeks.
