Cashless Catering System

We are pleased to announce that we now use a cashless catering system. The new system will allow us to continue with the development of the school meal service, and will provide us with a more efficient, faster and ultimately better quality of service.

A letter explaining how the system works has been sent home to all families. To refer to the Parent Information Pack please click here

“Don’t wish it were easier. Wish you were better!” (Jim Rohn)

At this point in the academic year, whole year groups of our young people are undertaking final examinations in courses they have studied for the last two years. Nothing different about that compared with previous generations, we may argue. I would contest this.

CONTACTING SCHOOL

Visits and Appointments

If you wish to meet any member of staff we ask you to make an appointment. However, there is usually a senior member of staff at the front of school available to take up any urgent matter that may arise, and the Principal and Vice-Principals are generally able to talk briefly with parents between 8.15 and 8.45 am.

Telephone Calls

The School Office is open to receive telephone calls between 8.30 am and 4.30 pm Monday to Thursday (8.30 am to 4.00 pm Friday). If staff are not immediately available, we ask you to leave a message or to arrange with the receptionist a suitable time to contact them.

E-mail

For non-urgent matters, using the subject- or House-specific e-mail accounts should normally generate a response within two working days.
