We would like to offer all students in Year 7 the opportunity to do Work Shadowing for a day in July.

We believe that this is of immense value in gaining further insight into the world of work. Please consider whether it would be appropriate for your child to join you at work for the day, or whether you have a relative or friend who could offer a placement.

We ask that you make the necessary arrangements and then complete the form in this link: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/Ewz93mcyp1 

Please complete form by Monday 15th June.

It is vital that the student will not be involved in any actual work activities, but will have a purely observational role, and will therefore be covered by the employer’s public liability insurance.

If you have any questions please let us know.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs K Davey                                       Mr J Davies
Assistant Head Teacher                 Head of Year 7

During this week there will be a variety of activities for students to participate in to raise awareness of mental health.

Head students will be selling green pin badges to raise money for the Mental Health Foundation, they are £1 and students can pay by card or by cash.

We are also supporting the ‘Wear it Green’ Day on Friday, where students can wear an item of green clothing in addition to their normal school uniform. Any donations can be made via School gateway.

The school Chapel will be open all week during break and lunch as a safe and calm space for students to visit during break and lunchtime throughout the week. Sixth Form students will be present as someone to talk to.

Students are welcome to: 

• Take some quiet time to reflect
• Sit peacefully and have a break from the school day
• Speak to sixth form students for any advice or guidance

The Prayer Tree will also be in the chapel. Students can: 

• Write a prayer, thought, or message on a paper leaf
• Place it on the Prayer Tree as a way of sharing hopes, worries, or encouragement

The library will be introducing and reading the Carnegie award book called Popcorn (about dealing with anxiety and panic attacks) in Year 7 and 8 library lessons which is available to all students via the Sora app on their iPad.

The timetable of activities is outlined below:
