26th SeptemberExam Results 2018The class of 2018 brought with them some special challenges. The first cohort to study mostly the new 9-1 GCSE’s meant that both staff and pupils were even more anxious than usual on results day. The new headline measure of Progress 8 judges how much progress pupils of the same ability across the country have made and although we will need to wait for the full national picture to be released from the department for education, early indications are positive. We fully expect results to be better again, for the 5th consecutive year, and we are looking forward to seeing our score when the data is released.
20th JuneReleasing Pupils in School Time/Emergency SituationsPlease note that pupils will only be released from School if we are able to obtain consent from somebody who has ‘Parental Responsibility’ for the pupil in question. We do appreciate that occasionally, emergency situations can arise, and a parent/carer with Parental Responsibility sends another member of the family to collect a pupil on their behalf. In these situations Parental Consent will still need to be obtained from a parent/carer with Parental Responsibility prior to the child being released from school. It is therefore imperative that your contact details are up-to-date and you are contactable if you have made this arrangement.
