Access to Devices and Internet survey – December 2020
During the last weeks of term students were asked to complete a survey asking them to update us on the devices and internet access they had access to at home. Unfortunately as some students did not have access to computer rooms, or were in PPE exams, not all could complete the survey. In order to best support our students whilst they are self-isolating or working from home we need to know what digital access students have. If your child has not completed this survey they can click the … [Read more...]

Student Equipment and Curriculum Learning Packs – December 2020

Fake Staff Social Media Accounts

Our staff follow very strict safeguarding guidelines in this area and would not seek to make contact with students in this inappropriate manner. The school is … [Read more...]
