We are very proud of Year 8 student Nicholas Nowak who organised a cake sale to help raise funds for the Ukraine appeal. With other students from his form, they organised donations of cakes to be brought in, many of which were home baked. They went on to sell the cakes at break times.
Well done to the Prefect team for organising a school wide Easter egg raffle. Over £200 was raised, with all the proceeds going to the Ukraine appeal. Thank you to all those people who donated eggs or purchased tickets for this very worthy cause. Winners have been notified and can collect their prizes from the Sixth Form office.
Tickets available from the library!
We are pleased to report that our non-uniform day has already raised over £1000 so far today with many further donations still being received. Firstly, this was timed to support the national charity Comic Relief on Red Nose Day and secondly, we will split donations to support The International Red Cross, particularly needed to support the refugee crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine. Students and staff were encouraged to wear non-uniform clothes preferably with a red, blue or yellow theme, and they didn't disappoint! Thank you to everybody that contributed, and we will announce the final total next week.
We realise there was a problem yesterday at Year 10 parents' evening for approximately 1 hour with the Edulink video consultations. We apologise for the inconvenience caused. We are currently investigating the issue and considering ways of you catching up with your son's progress.
WHO’S MISSING? IS IT YOU?
Well done to everyone who has participated in the Holiday Reading Challenges; it's been lovely to hear what you thought about the selected books. Congratulations to Lucien W for winning the prize for the best review of A Christmas Carol and Kyron J for winning the prize for the best review of Around the World in 80 Days!

We have arranged a non-uniform day on Friday 18 March in aid of two good causes. Firstly, this is timed to support the national charity Comic Relief on Red Nose Day, traditionally at this time of year. Secondly, we will split donations to support The International Red Cross, particularly needed to support the refugee crisis resulting from the war in Ukraine. Students and staff are invited to pay the minimum of £1.00, more if possible, since it will be supporting both charities this year. Students may wear non-uniform clothes, preferably with a red, blue or yellow theme if they wish to show support for either cause. Contributions will be collected at morning registration and will all go directly towards the charities concerned. Students are welcome to wear a red nose as well if they so wish, although red noses will not be on sale in school.
This is how staff and students celebrated World Book Day today on their 25th birthday with an amazing amount of students taking part.
There will be lots going on, so please join in the fun!
