Following a meeting with the Quadrant Committee on Thursday 30 October, we have approved a design (visual and narrative) by a company called Tree-ditions. Pupils will also be involved in the creation of the school’s story on the Totem Pole and also in some of the planting up of the garden itself. Once finished, by May at latest, this will become an outdoor classroom, which various subjects across the school will put to good use for learning and teaching. The design has been based around being eco-friendly and sustainability. Exciting times!
Thank you to all who contributed to the group or fed back to us on the designs.

The School Library is looking for a dedicated team of pupil librarians to help with managing our library stock, creating eye-catching displays and helping to keep the space neat and tidy.

If you know of students who were in the Class of 2023 who have not collected their yearbooks yet - please can you ask them to contact the school office.
These remaining 16 yearbooks have been waiting for collection for many months!
We have a note of those who haven't collected on our signature sheet - however contact becomes more difficult once students leave school.
