Messages to Parents
Hello everyone and welcome back to school! It is so exciting to have our students back in the school environment. Year 9 is an extremely important year for our students as it’s our options year. Students will need to make informed decisions, be dedicated and hard working to choose the options best suited to them in the pursuit of their goals. This year we are putting a greater emphasis on our schools’ culture and “why we do things around here” ensuring that our students are transformational, who develop skills needed to go on to lead lives full of prosperity. Further information will be communicated to parents/carers about the options process in due course.
If you do have any questions about your child, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your child’s mentor in the first instance or myself.
I look forward to speaking to you all over the course of the year!
Miss Humphries Head of Year 9
