🌺 A MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE 🌺

This morning, we were incredibly proud of our students and staff as they came together for our Remembrance Assembly.

The assembly took place on our Shakespeare campus and was led by Mrs Gregory and Mr Bezant, bringing together students and staff from both our Shakespeare and Cherbourg campuses, including our Year 11 Cherbourg students, for a thoughtful and meaningful occasion.

Our Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 Cherbourg students, who are currently learning from home due to gas works taking place on the Cherbourg campus, were also able to join us via livestream, ensuring that they could be part of this important occasion.

It was particularly lovely to see some of our students attending in their military uniforms, proudly wearing their poppies and showing such wonderful respect and appreciation.

We would like to say a huge well done to all our students for the maturity, respect and dignity they demonstrated throughout the assembly. It was a truly special moment and a wonderful reflection of our school community, coming together across both campuses to remember those who have served, sacrificed and given so much for others.

A heartfelt thank you to Mrs Gregory and Mr Bezant for leading such a meaningful assembly, and to all our staff and students for making it so special.

We will remember them. ❤️🌺

DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY NEWS

Well done to 8D Textiles for their ongoing efforts as part of their ‘Monsters’ project!

Each pupil has chosen their own target customer and designed their Monster to meet their individual needs, using a range of skills including appliqué, hand embroidery and sewing machine techniques.

Many have really dug deep each week, showing great resilience and determination as they have worked on their Monsters over several weeks.

A few are still works in progress, but we are proud of every single one of them and the effort they have put in!

Well done, 8D! 👏

CHERBOURG CLOSURE LETTER

CONFIRMATION OF SCHOOL CLOSURE TODAY - CHERBOURG SITE ONLY

Dear Parents/Carers

Further to my previous email, I confirm that we will be closing the Cherbourg Campus from 1.15pm today.

In order for students to be allowed to leave site, we need permission from parents/carers.

Please visit Arbor where you will find a permission form to complete. Please complete this as soon as possible.

For any students where we do not have permission, we will attempt to contact home after lunch to seek permission.

No parents/carers should attend the school site.

Students who travel to and from school by minibus/taxi will go home in the same way today, but will arrive home earlier. Our Site Bursar will contact parents/carers with further information on this.

We will let you all know as soon as possible with regard to arrangements for tomorrow.

Thank you for your continued support.

URGENT POTENTIAL SCHOOL CLOSURE TODAY - CHERBOURG CAMPUS ONLY

Dear Parents/Carers

We have discovered a gas leak on the Cherbourg Campus and are awaiting further instructions from our contractors.

Should they need to shut the gas off, this will mean we have no hot water, heating etc on the school site and we will have to close the school.
As it stands, lunch will go ahead and we will update parents/carers as close to 12.15pm as we can.

Please do not be concerned about the safety of your child; we are ensuring everyone is safe to remain on site. Please await further instructions before taking any action.

Krista Dawkins, Executive Headteacher
