Season’s Greetings

Christmas Charity Appeal

Our students have shown their generosity by donating gifts to fill shoe boxes as part of our contribution to the Operation Christmas Child Appeal. Over 52 shoe boxes covered in Christmas wrapping paper have been donated.

Miss Patten, the school co-ordinator of the Christmas Child appeal, expressed her delight with the donations, “I’m really pleased with the school’s response this year because of the quality and volume of donations. We have filled more boxes than ever before with gifts that will really be appreciated by children in parts of the world who are much less well off than we are in the UK.”

Samaritan’s Purse distributes its donations to children in need regardless of their background or belief. We believe this is a worthwhile way to help others and raise awareness about those less fortunate than ourselves.

Our school intends to expand our fund raising activities for worthwhile causes to ensure that our students gain an understanding and appreciation of the ways that they can help others facing challenging or difficult circumstances in different parts of the world.

2009 has been another excellent year for our school.

We have maintained our achievement with examination results both at Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5. Our year on year improvement is a credit to everyone who is involved with the school. 

We look forward to 2010 and our challenge is to ensure that our current Year 11 out perform their predecessors!

Over the past year our students have benefited from the many trips, conferences and learning activities organised for them. Our Media Arts and International School status has enriched our curriculum and created exciting opportunities for all.

We  would like to wish everyone associated with the school a Merry Christmas and a happy, productive and healthy new year.
