Congratulations to Sienna this week for being nominated for ‘Hot Chocolate with the Head’!

Sienna was nominated by her Head of House, Tutor and teachers in recognition of her modelling our values daily, particularly resilience and respect. Sienna has displayed a fantastic work effort, always trying to do her best and has demonstrated a positive and caring attitude - well done!

Mrs Copeland was determined not to let our current situation prevent her from celebrating student success, so as we couldn’t arrange hot chocolate in school, she sent a ‘Hot Chocolate with the Head’ bag to Sienna at home and joined her Tutor meeting this morning to congratulate her!

Mindful of the long-term effect that increased scr

Mindful of the long-term effect that increased screen time may have on students and staff, we have taken the decision to adjust the length of lessons to 90 minutes (where students have two single lessons, these will now be 45 minutes each).

From Wednesday 20th January 2021 the lesson times will be:

8.50- 9.10 Tutor Time

9.20- 10.50 Periods 1 and 2

11.20- 12.50 Periods 3 and 4

1.20- 2.50 Periods 5 and 6

This change will still enable students to follow their timetable as normal but the introduction of slightly extended breaks will also give them an opportunity to move around more. We would ask that you encourage your child to take advantage of the time away from their computer or device by going outdoors, exercising, or simply resting their eyes from the glare of the screen.

Students accessing Key Worker School will follow the same routine as those at home and will have a staggered release from 2.50pm each day.

Thank you for your continued support.

If your child is working on a Chromebook: click Alt + [ buttons at the same time it will allow them to split their screens into 2 tabs with no extension needed.

This way they can be on the meet and look at their work at the same time!

To clarify: students will still have live lessons

To clarify: students will still have live lessons following their timetable as usual, this is referring to the setting of any additional homework.

We are though encouraging students to continue reading at home and all students should have access to the E-Library to do this if they do not have access to books at home.
