We’re working closely with families on student punctuality.
Arriving on time helps students start calmly and succeed. From after Easter, lateness without a valid reason will lead to a next-day detention.
Thank you for your support in promoting resilience, excellence and respect.
Year 7–9 reports are now live on Go4Schools. 📊
Check your child’s progress, attitude to learning and homework to see how they’re getting on.
Together we support #resilience, #excellence and #respect in every student.
Year 11 reports are now available on Go4Schools, including March mock exam results. Please take some time to review them together with your child.
