Sorry for the delay in getting the first blog of the new academic year out. I was working on it on Tuesday last week, quite proud of the fact that I had not needed to be reminded to do so, when the school suffered a lightning strike which blew out the power and burnt out ADSL filters, routers and two computers. One of the newly dead computers was mine, and it died with a half-written blog on the screen. I know that sounds like the kind of homework excuses we get from pupils, but I promise it's the truth and I have witnesses!
I trust that you all enjoyed the summer break and are approaching the new term with enthusiasm.
We welcome two new teachers to the staff. Mrs Impson Davey will be teaching GCSE Art and we are delighted to have her join the team. Mrs Holland, who will be known to some of you as Cara Murphy, is a past pupil who is returning to the school to join Mrs Hammond in the Music Department. It is a pleasure to welcome her back! (See if you can spot her in the photo's of past musical productions displayed in the entrance foyer.)
On Friday we enjoyed a BBQ with families new to the school, and on Monday enjoyed the first Praise and Prayer evening of the year. Thanks to all who attended.
Our first Open Day of the year will take place on Saturday 2nd October. Please invite friends and family to see the school. Remember that Friday 1st October is a day off to compensate for the Open Day. Pupil attendance of Open Day is compulsory. Mr Cornell will be taking a secondary school trip to Thorpe Park on Friday.
I trust that you will all enjoy the new academic year.
