PARENTAL WEEKLY UPDATE – <strong>14</strong>th <strong>December</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />
(available on our website)<br />
Dear Parents and Carers<br />
Thank you for your understanding when I had to close the school on Monday. This is always<br />
a difficult decision but conditions on our school site and surrounding roads were very dangerous.<br />
I was pleased that we were able to open on Tuesday even though conditions were<br />
very icy.<br />
The run in to the final day of term (midday on 20 th <strong>December</strong>) is a very busy one indeed.<br />
I have just popped my head into the Christmas Fair and the students have made a magnificent effort to sell a wide<br />
range of Christmas gifts. This event is run by the students, for the students and the community.<br />
I am looking forward to the Christmas Concerts in the school hall on Monday. This is a school event where lots of<br />
lots of our drama, dance and music students perform some of their work. On Tuesday we will be having our Christmas<br />
lunch and on Wednesday we will be finishing the term with our traditional carol services at St Mary’s<br />
Church.<br />
I do hope that you will be able to join us on Monday night for the re-arranged Nine Lessons and Carols service that<br />
we will be holding at St Mary’s Church starting at 7pm. Ours students will be singing and reading and for the first<br />
time this year we have a community choir singing a chorus from Handel’s Messiah – I look forward to seeing you<br />
there.<br />
I do hope that lots of students will be wearing a Christmas jumper on either Monday or Tuesday or both. Donations<br />
of £1 will go to Save the Children and for this students can wear their Christmas jumper over their shirt and tie.<br />
I was honoured to be invited to the Sixth Form Dinner Dance last evening. It was a wonderful event! The students<br />
looked fabulous in their ball gowns and black tie! Please look out for a report in a special Sixth Form <strong>Bulletin</strong> next<br />
week.<br />
The PE department have drawn my attention to the large amount of dog mess on the sports field at the moment. I<br />
am sure you are aware of the dangers to young people that dog mess presents. This land is private property and<br />
whilst the borders are not closed in with fences, members of the public should not be walking their dogs there.<br />
This will be our final parental bulletin before Christmas and may I take the opportunity to wish you a very happy<br />
and safe Christmas holiday. Please may I remind you that school starts for all students on Thursday 4 th January.<br />
This is a week B timetable. Please ensure that your child has the correct books and equipment on that day.<br />
Happy Christmas!<br />
Kind regards<br />
Tim Litchfield<br />
