Although this week has been incredibly icy, our dedicated site manager has been out at the crack of dawn ensuring that all the paths and outdoor walkways have been gritted. We are very lucky to have such a hard working member of our team who is willing to brave the elements to keep us all safe!

Calendar Creations!
Some amazing examples of the work pupils have been doing this term in Design Technology. In year 7 they made key fobs. As you can see Harry's definitely has the wow factor! In year 8 pupils have made desk calendars and I'm sure you'll agree that Joshua's is absolutely fantastic. Thank you to Mrs McGuiness for sharing your wonderful work with us all and well done to your pupils for their creative masterpieces.

Can you help?
While we try our hardest to find placements for pupils, we really appreciate support from parents/carers, our friends and colleagues who can offer a work placement for our pupils. If you feel that you or someone you know could offer a placement and would like more information please contact our lovely careers lead rhian.wheeler@castlehill.stockport.sch.uk
For our pupils who are not going out on a placement, there will be a week of work focused independence activities based in school. This will include group visits to different places of work.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Rhian Wheeler.
