All

school uniform, which is available from
the school outfitters 'Whitehall Clothiers'.
Prices are available to all new entrants

of a blazer with school badge, shirt, tie,
trousers/skirt. The main school colour is

and Walkmans is forbidden.
Assemblies
are held during the week according to a
regular pattern of Senior, Lower, Year and
Whole School assemblies. They are considered
important to the moral development and corporate
spirit of the school.
Home school
links are seen as a priority. We encourage
close contact with parents, recognising
and fostering the important relationship
between home and school. The ‘Diary’
carried by every student, ensures that there
is a daily contact between home and school
regarding homework, school events, staff
and parental concerns. There are formal
contacts with parents at various times of
the year. Parents are always seen if there
is an issue, which requires immediate attention
and individual consultation by appointment
is welcomed.
Rewarding
good work is seen as a positive way of promoting
achievement. We do this by awarding certificates,
commendations, cups and prizes and displaying
students work. The school holds an annual
‘Celebration of Achievement’
evening in September.
There are
close links with the Career’s Service,
colleges, universities and Community Centres.
There is a full programme of support to
ensure students progress onto employment,
university or additional studies. A list
of Supplementary Schools are kept in the
Library. |
