This week, the school was buzzing with excitement as the much-anticipated production of Shrek took to the stage. The show was a tremendous success, full of energy, humour, and brilliant performances that had the audience thoroughly entertained from start to finish. A number of our boys were involved in various roles both on stage and behind the scenes. They should be incredibly proud of the commitment, creativity, and confidence they displayed. 

A special thanks goes to them for all the time and effort they have put in during rehearsals and performances. Their enthusiasm and teamwork truly brought the magical world of Shrek to life. Well done to everyone involved.

The house will be taking part in a sponsored 1-mile swim, with all proceeds going directly to our charity. This promises to be a fun and energetic event for a fantastic cause. However, if anyone does not wish to take part in the swimming event, then this is absolutely fine but they will spend time with their tutors doing other activities.

There will be no lunch served for pupils on Friday. They will need to wear House tops and skort / shorts / tracksuit bottoms.

School Transport:

There will be no school transport on Thursday or Friday. 

Please can you ensure non-uniform clothing is sensible and suitable for the activities during next week. Trainers are ideal but please no sports tops. Please keep an eye on the weather forecast and ensure your child has a rain jacket, sun cream, hat and sweatshirt. They will also need to bring in their own water bottles of activities outside of school. Phones can be taken on trips, but pupils must be responsible for these and only use these when directed by staff. If activities are school based, mobile phones must be handed in to me as usual. 

Finally, academic reports for Years 8, 9 and 10 will be distributed at the end of next week. These reports will provide valuable feedback on your son's progress throughout the term. I kindly ask that you review these reports with your child and celebrate their achievements. 

Only 1 week to go!!
