We’re looking forward to celebrating students during Rewards Week.
From strong attendance to positive behaviour and improvement, it’s a great opportunity to recognise their hard work.
Did you know that missing just 10 days can reduce a student’s chance of achieving Grade 5 by around 50%?
Every lesson matters during exam season.
Let’s support our young people to attend every day and reach their full potential.
