Message from the Principal
Last Tuesday, I confirmed the headlines of our new School Strategic Plan (SSP) with all staff. Each May, we assess the impact of the previous year’s strategy and confirm our targets for the following year, engaging as many of the school’s stakeholders as possible. The SSP is a lengthy document but we have distilled an overview that we are very pleased to share with parents and carers.
Quality first teaching, learning and assessment
Personal development, welfare and safety
Leadership and Management at all Levels
Parents’ Surgery - Wednesday 22 June 2016 18:00 – 19:00 Last Wednesday we held our final Parents’ Surgery of this academic year. Unlike the Parents’ Forum, there were no formal presentations on this evening. This was an informal opportunity for parents and carers to discuss any issue relating to their child’s education with senior members of staff who were in attendance. The issues raised included concerns over a lack of extra-curricular opportunities for students, the quality of student planners this year and the quality of school uniform jumpers. I will take these matters to next week’s Leadership Team meeting and ensure that each of these issues is discussed and addressed. I would like to thank the parents and carers who came into school to share their views. Best wishes Richard Lord ![]() Attendance
Success still holds onto the lead. However Aspire has shot into second place from fourth and the other Houses are close behind. There is only 0.39% to catch the lead. You can help just be attending school every day. Our Local Authority individual target set is 96%, this allows only 6 days per academic year.
