Thank you for all your support with our attendance strategy. 

Year 7 and Year 11 are doing really well, but we need a huge push with year 8, 9 and 10. 

Please can you make sure unless your child is too ill to attend that they arrive on time ready for lessons.

Equipment: Recently there have been a number of students without their bags and pencil cases.  Please can you ensure your child has their bag and a pencil case with their pens and pencils.  When students are not fully equipped it disrupts learning time.

Jewellery: We have also noticed an increase in jewellery being worn by students and part from a wristwatch, jewellery is not allowed in school for health and safety reasons and also to ensure they do not lose precious items. 

Please can you support our uniform checks by ensuring your child is not wearing any before they leave for school. 

Joe B and Brandon S (Year 11) represented Durham County Schools in the U16 Pokemon Youth Futsal Cup last weekend. The team was coached by our very own Mr Vause and both students played a key part as Durham won and advanced to the regional finals.

Well Done!
