🌞 ☀️ WEATHER - UNIFORM UPDATE ☀️ 🌞

As always we continue to review the forecast for the week and further to changes communicated yesterday, we will be making the further changes for the rest of this week:

☀️Due to hot weather we are expecting this week we are allowing students to come into school in their PE Kit.

👔If students do not wish to wear their PE kit they must come in their normal school uniform however blazers and ties do not need to be worn.

This is for this week only and we will review if it needs to continue.

Due to the hot weather forecast this week, we want to make families and students aware of the following from tomorrow:

☀️ Students will not be required to bring a blazer to school

👔In any classrooms where temperature becomes an issue, students will be able to remove ties at the teacher's discretion

We would ask that parents/ carers please ensure their children have a reusable water bottle with them at all times this week 💧

We also remind parents and carers of the need to wear sun cream during this period of hot weather. ☀️

If you have any further questions/ concerns please get in touch via [email protected]

As part of the "Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month", we invited Richard O’Neil MBE, master storyteller and author from the Romani tradition, so present to our Y8s. After Additionally, some lucky students also got to spend time with him in a story-to-song writing workshop. All students attending the workshops received a free signed copy of one of his books.
