Afternoon Year 13, I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine 🌞 I have been kept very busy by this little one over the past couple of weeks...  Meet Ruby Clarke 🐢She is very cute, but exhausting!

Leaver's Ball and Leaver's Hoodies With regards to the Leaver's Ball, if you haven't paid for your ticket yet, Tucasi will remain open till the end of August, so you have plenty of time to pay for your ticket.  You'll also be pleased to know that the hoodies have finally been dispatched and are on their way to school.

Good evening Year 13 and a happy bank holiday to you all. There are some pretty important reminders and messages in this bulletin so if you know that some of your friends are unlikely to read this, please pass on the important messages.

Morning Year 13, I hope you are all keeping well and busy. Hopefully you will have heard from your tutor this week and either you, or one of your parents has given an update on what you've all been up to and how you're coping.  Just a reminder, that if you are struggling, you do not need to wait for this phone call to let us know. Please do feel free to email me or your tutor at any time if you are having a hard time. We are still very much here for you!
