For #AntiBullyingWeek, we wanted to remind our pupils to be kind not only to others but also to themselves. Pupils were given festival bands and encouraged to write a kind word about themselves and then share a kind word with their friends. It's the small things. #BeKindAlways

Heartfelt condolences to our Patron, Her Majesty The Queen, on the passing of His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. The Duke's work, especially @DofE, will be his legacy to young people, including many at this School.

‘It is easy to assume that a modern state will provide everything that its citizens need. Voluntary service to others is one of the characteristics of a civilised state.’ – Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, writing about @DofE for @tes in 2004 https://t.co/lja5bPsSqD

The chance of a false positive lateral flow #COVID19 test is very low.

Tests taken at schools are done in a supervised environment & don't need a follow-up PCR test. Tests taken at home are not.

Positive results need a follow-up confirmatory PCR test.

Does your child have a favourite teacher or someone in school who always supports them? The Teaching Awards are still open for nominations, if you would like to mention a special member of staff.
