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.

heartStudents from years 9 – 11 travelled to Owlcotes in Pudsey on Tuesday 15th December to support the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund.  They sang several carols including Away in a Manger, Hark the Herald Angels Sing and Once in Royal David’s City.  These carols were sung by everyone at Ralph Thoresby School who came on the trip with us, but joining them were soloists who sang songs like White Christmas and Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer. The organiser’s of the day were Mrs Susan Liles who is Head of Music and Sheila McFarlane who co-runs the choir.

deanRalph Thoresby School held their 10th annual Talent Show prior to the New Year in the John Sowerby Theatre.
Over 60 acts were auditioned and whittled down to a packed programme enjoyed by enthusiastic audiences and co-hosted by Dean Smith, star of ‘Waterloo Road’.
This particular show had a slight twist due to being streamed live on the Internet. Messages poured in from family members who couldn’t make the show and as far a field as the States and Portugal who were delighted to see students performing live in the show – an extra special Christmas treat for them.
