Headteacher

Well three days gone, the summer hols are well and truly over and this my first blog of the new school year.
Despite a superb holiday visiting my youngest son in Thailand I am pleased to get started and it has been great seeing all the staff and students especially those new to the school. A particularly warm welcome to new members of our staff team – Eve Shilton, Vicky Hepworth and Stewart McGill all working in Maths; Dave Mulvaney Assistant Area Leader in Science and Gaynor Mairs and Laura Slater who both join our team of support professionals.
The start of term has gone well and today we begin our timetabled lessons. Hopefully we will get into the routine quickly but it will, in reality, take another week or so I suspect. 
I have been delighted over the events of the summer. Our exam results were very good. I am really delighted (and relieved) at the way they have turned out.  This is the product of a good deal of hard work from students, staff and, I suspect, families as well. Many thanks to you all
A great deal of decoration and refurbishment has taken place in and around the building as part of the PFI contract but I do have to say that the site staff have worked very hard over the break to get the building looking so good.

We have made some significant changes to the way staff manage behaviour and allocate rewards during the last 12-18 months.  In addition, education law has also changed.  As such, the school parliament and staff have updated the School Behaviour Policy which we hope to have ratified by governors in September 2010.

If you would like to comment on the DRAFT School Behaviour Policy (in Letters & Documents/School Policies), please contact me by 'phone or email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
