The School Day

Daily Routine: Please ensure your child arrives at least 5 minutes early. Detailed routines are available in the Rules and Regulations document within the Induction Pack

Attendance

We rely on your support to ensure your child attends school regularly and punctually. Please avoid booking holidays during term-time as this can impact your child’s learning and is discouraged.

Your Child’s Education

We provide a tailored programme of study based on each student's needs to help them achieve the best results. Progress reports are issued every half term to keep you informed of your child's academic performance.

What We Expect from Your Child

We expect high standards, personal responsibility, and professionalism from all students. Respect for others and the environment is key to our values. For detailed expectations, please refer to our Student Code of Conduct and Dress Code Policy.

Sports Participation

Participation in PE and sports is a fundamental part of your child’s personal development. Our programmes aim to improve educational performance and develop life skills such as goal setting, teamwork, and resilience. We encourage all students to try their best and enjoy their sports activities.

Parental Engagement

We believe in fostering a strong school community and offer frequent parental workshops and coffee mornings. These events are designed to provide you with valuable insights into your child's education and development, and to offer a platform for open dialogue between parents and school staff. Keep an eye on our Events Calendar for upcoming dates and details.
