Dear Families
A busy week with the A Level and GCSEs exams in full flow. The students have been positive and committed in both their attitude and conduct. We have also had the pleasure of our annual Dance showcase which this year was held at Dance East in Ipswich. It was wonderful to see such talented performers. We also have a group of female students attending the women’s football cup final at Wembley.
A reminder that this term all students are eligible for a prize competition based on their attendance. Please continue to encourage your child’s regular attendance to school.
