Uniform Reminder:
The majority of our pupils look really smart and I really appreciate parent and carer efforts, however there are a small minority of pupils who are not following our uniform policy. Therefore form tutors will be conducting spot checks next week to ensure that we do not let our high standards slide.
Remember, we would prefer your child to wear smart school trousers or a skirt, however we understand that they may not be able to tolerate the material. Therefore if they have permission to wear jogging bottoms they must be plain with no visible branding.
Your child can choose to wear trainers instead of shoes but they must be plain black.
Thank you so much for your support and understanding.
And Finally...
Thank you for your clothes and shoes donations. We raised £262.60 for school. We donated our goods to Donate Clothes for Sammy, as this charity splits their funds raised with schools and Leukaemia & Myeloma Research UK. If you missed the collection this time, please save items for future school collections, as we plan to do a collection each term. Thank you for your support!
