Digital Devices

It was great to be able to hand out Chromebooks to the majority of our young people this week. So many teachers and pupils are already using these devices to support learning, teaching and research. We would ask parents/carers to support their use at home for further learning and research. A Chromebook Accessibility Guide for Parents/Carers can be found here. Any pupils who were absent of didn’t manage to pick up their devices this week can get their new Chromebook on Monday, in the Library, between 9.30-11am. All pupils have been asked to retain the brown cardboard box it came in for a few days, although I am aware they have all been offered the chance to hand this in for recycling. 

Coursing Information Evening

Thank you to all the parents/carers and young people who came along to the coursing information last Wednesday evening.  I hope it has helped in explaining the process your young person is about to embark on and provided you with the necessary information to support them.  All the information that was covered can be accessed via this link – Coursing Presentation 2026. The presentation and all the coursing resources/ information can be accessed via the  green ‘Course Choice’ button on the front page of the school website. (By Mr Russell)
