HOLIDAY

The school will close for the Christmas Holiday at 2.00pm on Tuesday 21 December. Buses will all be away from the school no later than 2.15pm. As always, if for any reason you wish your child to remain at school until 3.30pm, please let your son or daughter’s form tutor know and we will make arrangements for him or her to remain in a safe environment.

It is a lovely long holiday for the students this year and so many of them richly deserve it as they are working very hard. The school will re-open for them at 9.00am on Monday 10 January. Once again I ask that you ensure your sons and daughters are in school on time each day for a 9.00am start.

Those students in the sixth form who are taking module exams in January must ensure that they undertake a sensible revision schedule over the Christmas holiday. My advice is that they begin revision after Boxing Day and with a break for New Year’s Day, endeavour to do some solid revision each day prior to school commencing.

NB. The period between 4.00pm Thursday 23 December and 9.00am Tuesday 4 January is the only time in the year when the school is completely closed and so there will be no access for parents. In the direst of emergencies and you need to make contact, your local Roman Catholic parish priest will be able to contact a member of the school leadership team, but I stress this should only be in the utmost emergency.
