Is Your Child Too Ill for School?
It can be hard to know when to keep your child off school when they feel unwell. The UK Health Security Agency has some good advice for reducing the spread of winter illnesses.
Please also refer to NHS guidance and remember that students should not miss school on a precautionary basis.
Annual Careers Fair - NEXT WEEK!
We are excited to announce that our annual careers fair will take place on Wednesday 11th December from 9am - 1pm. Building on the success of last year, a range of employers, Further Education colleges and universities will be attending to talk to and inspire our students. This week's careers bulletin introduces all the employers and the range of opportunities they have available. We hope this will help our students to feel informed and involved, and give them the opportunity to talk to their parents and carers about the sort of information they could gather, and the questions they could ask.
