17th AprilForgotten Lunch ArrangementsAs you know, we no longer interrupt lessons to pass on forgotten equipment and break-time snacks due to the disruption to learning this inevitably causes. If for any reason your child has forgotten to bring in their lunch it is their responsibility to go to Main Reception at the start of lunch to check if any lunch has been brought in for them. Please can you make sure you talk to your child about this procedure. Form Tutors have been asked to speak to pupils about this arrangement as well. If their lunch has not been brought in for them they will be issued with a lunchtime pass which parents will then have to reimburse the school for.

As well as this, every year around 500 of the highest scorers in the Gold award category for each school year across the country are invited to take part in the Intermediate Mathematical Olympiad papers and we are very proud to announce that Liam Jones was one of those selected pupils.
