📢 Polite Reminder to Parents and Carers

We would like to kindly remind parents and carers to please ensure that pupils are organised and prepared for the school day.

We are still receiving a high number of pupils visiting Pupil Services to ask us to contact home regarding lunch money, forgotten books and equipment, PE kits, club collection times and other arrangements. These details are communicated to pupils during form time and in the days leading up to when they are needed.

We would also like to remind parents and carers to please ensure that Arbor accounts are topped up with sufficient funds for school lunches. We are having a large number of pupils each day asking Pupil Services to contact home to ask for their accounts to be topped up for break and lunch money.

Where none urgent contact with home is necessary, this will be done through in-app messages, rather than individual phone calls.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding 😊

Year 11 Creative Therapy

Our Year 11 pupils have been getting creative in their therapy lesson, thinking of thoughtful and meaningful activities they could do to bring joy to an older person. 🌟
We had some wonderful ideas, including scone making 🍰, creating low-cost homemade soups 🥣 and crocheting 🧶.

It was lovely to see pupils thinking about how simple activities can make a difference, whether through sharing homemade treats, creating something by hand or spending quality time together.

A fantastic opportunity to develop creativity, empathy and an understanding of how small acts of kindness can brighten someone’s day.
