In addition, to enable you to enjoy timely access around the whole school, the Headteacher’s speech, including information from our current students, is recorded and will be available online (below) for you to view in your own time as well as on the evening itself.
We are again extending our Open Mornings so that you have more of an opportunity to meet us during the school day.

They will include a tour of the school and a question and answer session with a member of our Senior Leadership Team and will last approximately an hour.
