Rossett News Update - 13th November 2026
Remembrance Day 2026
We are very proud of the way our school community came together to mark Remembrance Day this week.
On Sunday, Connie & Olivia joined our Headteacher, Mr Saunders, at Harrogate Cenotaph to lay a wreath on behalf of Rossett and on Wednesday our whole school gathered outside to observe a two-minute silence.
Thank you to everyone for being so respectful and to our Student Leaders who delivered a reading as part of the commemoration. Some of our students also created some lovely artwork to mark the occasion.
Is my child too ill for school?
We have recently shared guidance with parents and carers to help them decide when children should stay at home due to illness and when it is appropriate for them to attend school.
The letter also highlights the importance of good attendance and the impact that missed days can have on students’ learning, friendships and the wider school experience.
Children in Need 2026
The brightly coloured socks were out in force at Rossett today as we showed our support for BBC Children in Need.
A big thank you to everyone who joined in and wore their eye-catching socks with pride. We raised over £100 for a fantastic cause!
Wreath Making Masterclass - Don't Miss Out!
There are still a few tickets available for the Wreath Making Masterclass on Thursday 26th November. It's a lovely opportunity to enjoy some festive treats and make your own Christmas wreath to take home.
The workshop will be run by trained florists and includes all the materials you'll need (plus mince pies and a festive drink!).
Tickets are £35 each and can be purchased via Arbor. Don't miss out!
Presentation Evening 2026
We are looking forward to welcoming back last year's Year 11 students for our annual Presentation Evening on Thursday 3rd December.
It is always a lovely opportunity to celebrate their achievements, recognise their hard work and present certificates and awards. We look forward to seeing our former students again and hearing how they are getting on in their next steps.
Student Council Applications
This week our student leaders have been speaking in assemblies about the opportunity to join the Student Council. Applications close on Friday 20th November so there is still time for students who would like to get involved.
