Dear Parents/Carers

I hope you have had a lovely summer.  As a reminder from my end of year message, please see below details for the start of the new school year.

Students return to school on Monday 8^th September at the following times:

• Year 7 start at 8.50am and should meet their form tutor on the tennis courts.
• Year 8 -11 should be on site by 10am and students should head to their form rooms for a 10.10am start.
• Year 12 should meet in the study centre for a 10.10am start.
• Year 13 should make their way to their form rooms for a 10.10am start.

If your child is in Y8-11 and travels to school on the bus and will therefore arrive for the normal 8.50am start, they should report to The Hub on arrival where they will be supervised until 10.10am.

Standard and Expectations

Just a quick reminder about uniform - the summer holidays are a time when some students express themselves in different ways, without the constraints of school standards. We ask that before they return on the 8th, hair that is dyed a vivid colour is returned to a natural look and excessive and brightly coloured nail extensions are removed (nails must be a suitable length and of a natural colour.) In addition, please remember that jewellery is limited to a watch and studs only in ears. In accordance with Health and Safety regulations no other piercings are allowed, including lip, nose, septum and eyebrow. Please ensure these are removed prior to returning on the 8th, if your child has had a piercing over the summer break.

We are really looking forward to welcoming the students next Monday and to working with you and your children throughout the year.

Kind regards

Sam Jones - Headteacher
