Dear Parents/Carers,

Welcome back! I hope you were able to have a good break over Christmas and enjoyed time with your family and friends.

• Mr Gardner-Hart – Science Teacher, covering Mrs Lewis’ maternity leave
• Mrs Mclean – Humanities Teacher
• Mr Nelson – Maths Teacher

• Mrs Monastiri – Teaching Assistant (starting later this half term)
• Mrs Harvey – Receptionist

In addition to the new staff, Mrs Hall (English Teacher) is taking over as Head of Year 7 from Mr Redman who left at Christmas.

This week we will be talking to all students, through assemblies, and reminding them of the high expectations we have of them regarding their behaviour and the positive attitude we expect them to always show towards their schoolwork. We will be stressing to students the importance of them establishing the personal positive habits that will help a student excel in school.

We make no apologies for the high standards we expect and set for our students and are committed as a school to ensure all students embody our core values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience at all times. Please take time to reinforce these expectations with your child at home.

Thank you for your continued support.

Yours faithfully,

Mr A McNaughton

Principal
