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.

P1070630Here at Ralph Thoresby school we like to think that we are inventive and imaginative. To raise money for the British Heart Foundation three students had been asked to take part in a round of golf with a twist. James Douglas (captain), Adam Potter and Tom Dickinson had to attempt to play the first seven holes at Cookridge Hall Golf Club in only 30 minutes. Armed with only 3 or 4 clubs each, they sprinted down the first.

P1070286I spend a good six months looking forward to bombing down a hill on a plank of fiberglass and other materials to have it end in the blink of an eye. But what a trip. The staff enjoy it, the kids loved it and big thanks from all of us to Mr M.Gill for organising it.

Ski Trip - Getting There PDF Print E-mail

P1060898Just a quick email to keep you up to date with how we are doing. The coach we had was very nice, leather seats, air con, and seats which actually get wider. The crossing was as flat as a hedgehog on the M1. We made great time being the first coach to turn up at the resort in Aosta. It snowed as we came out of the Mont Blanc tunnel but Aosta is dry which is a good job because most of the children have only brought beach clothing. In one of the girls rooms they have 23 pairs of shoes between 3 of them. The forecast for the week is good with cold crisp weather and more snow due. The kids are ready to ski and board after a lazy day which was needed after the lack of sleep we had on the overnight trip.
