Signing Off for Summer

The final day of the final week of this school year.  For several of our staff it is also their very final day!  We have five staff who are retiring. Elaine Kilner who has worked at the school for 35 years is one of these staff. Elaine’s contribution to the school has been immense and I am sure there are a great many parents and carers who have been taught by Elaine and who would want to wish her well for her future. Lesley Pardini  after 34years; Mark Gill is also retiring after 24years;  Lucille Winburn and Neil Smith after 21 years each and finally Celia Peters after 10 years. They have all served the school and its students brilliantly well. That’s a total of around 140 years of service to the school!!

Our warm best wishes too go with Andrew Burdett who is leaving Ralph Thoresby for Harrogate Grammar School.

Last week Y10 did their work experience which went very well and Y9 were on their school camp. Both of these events takes a huge amount of organisation. Many thanks to Sue Green for organising the Work Experience and to Shane McLeer for organising the camp.

Signing off now. I’m going to Thailand on Monday to see my youngest son who works in Bangkok and who I have not seen for two years. Very exotic don’t you think - especially for someone who usually goes camping in Filey!!!


Have a great summer!

I hope that your summer has been going well and that the indifferent weather has not interfered too much with your plans.
School has been a busy place during the holiday. We have had a large proportion of the building redecorated with some areas being given new flooring and furniture. It is good to see that such regular maintenance is taking place. Keeping our school environment looking bright, clean and tidy makes such a difference to us all.
By the time you read this the exam results for this year will be known. Our GCSE and A level results were good and I was very pleased that all of our Y13 students wishing to go to university have gained places – this despite the huge reduction in places reported in the media.
I thought that you might find a reminder about the arrangements for the start of term useful.

100_0847On Saturday, July 10th the local charity held a fund raising event in the precinct near Asda. Several Year 10 students volunteered to give up an hour of their time to provide live music for the event.
Hattie Moran, Molly Mesher, Izzy Poveda, Kat Thompson and Rachael Mann performed a variety of songs thanks to the technical expertise of roadie Josh Fenton. They were well received by an appreciative audience which included the Lord Mayor.

prepared_piano_009On Saturday, June 26th Mrs Liles and Mr Hackshaw took several of our students to perform on an outdoor stage on Brigate as part of this year’s Breeze Festival.
We played to a nomadic audience from 12.45-1.45 on a very hot afternoon. Katie Richardson sang 2 sets accompanied by Mr Hackshaw and the Soul Band (Tom Priestley, James Boyes, Levente Macsay and Michael Vickers) played while Molly Mesher and Beth Moxon sang.
They received very positive feedback from their audience and were interviewed for local radio.
