Drug Awareness Parents’ Talk - Thursday 17 January
(Venue: The Main Hall, College Avenue, SL6 6AW)

‘Substance abuse and addiction is not a spectator sport - eventually the whole family gets to play’. This is a very informative evening and we would encourage parents to attend.  Please find the letter here that was first emailed home on the 17 December.
 
Book Bags
We have a new durable drawstring book bag that will be available for boys to purchase at school via thumbprint at a cost of £5 from next week.  After half term this will also be available from Goyals, and may be personalised at no extra cost with your son’s initials.

Counselling Provision
We are currently reviewing and improving our Counselling Service, with access to Counsellors moving forwards being triaged by our School Nurses. More information to follow.

Exam Success
Jack Beever has recently passed his Grade 1 Drum Exam with Merit. Well done to Jack and to Mr Davis his teacher.
