A Message from Mr. Whiteley
There are a few notices that I would like to bring to your attention.
Firstly, it is parents' evening tonight for Y12 & 13. Any parents who are yet to make appointments, please just turn up, and our teachers will make time to see you whenever they can. It runs from 4 to 6.45pm.
For all students who have been involved in the January exams, I wish you the best of luck and thank you for your excellent efforts.
The school ski trip departs for Italy on Saturday morning. It is exciting to think that our young people will be sharing the slopes with Olympians, who will be preparing for the Winter Olympics taking place in the same resort in just two weeks’ time. We are sure they will have a wonderful experience.
Parents of children on the ski trip are asked to keep an eye out for updates regarding pick-up arrangements. As traffic conditions on the M6 can be unpredictable, we will send out details once we are approximately one hour away.
There has been rapid progress since the builders commenced work at the beginning of January. The new staff car park is expected to be completed next week, and we will be contacting you over the coming days to talk about entrance and exits from the school during this next phase of construction. Hopefully, the groundworks along Mosslands Drive, which are currently establishing a pavement and access to the relocated cycle path, will also be finished by the end of January.
As you will be aware, Mosslands Drive is currently experiencing significant congestion. Until this preliminary work is completed, we ask that you make every effort to avoid driving along the road and/or parking close to the school.
There will be regular community meetings to update our neighbours and other interested parties, starting from the end of February. Any questions you have about the build will be addressed through those meetings. We are all very excited about this build project and the fantastic new community facility that we are investing in.
