| ACADEMIC REVIEW
DAY This takes place next Friday 1 March. Unless otherwise notified, students should come in to school for their appointment only. Normal lessons do not take place on 1 March. The aim of the day is for each student with his or her tutor - and parents, if possible (except for Y13) - to review overall progress. Detailed queries about individual subjects can be taken up with subject teachers - either at Parents' evenings or individually- as usual. THE BOYFRIEND Hurry! Hurry! Tickets are selling fast for "The Boyfriend". The show is in the final stages of rehearsal and promises to be hugely successful. Tickets will be on sale in the hall at lunch times. Price £3.50. YEAR 10 BCG VACCINATIONS Skin tests will take place in school on the mornings of 12 and 14 March. BCGs will be carried out on 19 and 21 March. Consent forms will be issued to students via form tutors. Please complete and return to the school office as soon as possible. Any year 11s who missed last years' vaccinations will be issued a consent form. KEY STAGE 4 OPTIONS This week, Year 9 students and their parents have been given information about courses for Year 10 and 11. We aim to offer a broad and balanced education based on the National Curriculum and various extensions. Choices Forms will be issued towards the end of term and must be returned to Tutors by 15 April. The timescale allows parents and students the opportunity to consider the best pathway and to consult with subject teachers (at the Parents' Evening on 11 April). |
NATIONAL SCHOOLWEAR
CENTRE
We have been notified of the closure of the store in the Castle Mall. The location of their new store will be announced very shortly. Meanwhile the National Schoolwear Centre will supply all your uniform needs via orders placed on 01603 632233. Delivery will be free of charge. FREE SCHOOL MEALS Your child will be eligible for free school meals if you are in receipt of Income support or Income-based Job Seekers Allowance (JSA-IB). Please ask for an application form from the school office if needed. A good variety of meals is on offer - packed lunches as well as cooked meals with vegetarian options are available. THEFTS FROM SCHOOL There has been a recent spate of thefts from school and from local properties in Eaton Road. The crimes have been opportunistic : valuables such as mobile phones, cash or expensive bicycles that have been left unattended have been snatched. We liaise routinely with the Police about all of these incidents and continually seek to improve our security arrangements. The simple message for us all, however, is that valuables should be safeguarded and should not be brought to school unless absolutely necessary. It is important that we do not offer any temptation for thieves. QUIZ AND CHIPS The next CNSA event will be a Quiz and Chips night on 9 March in the School Hall. These events are always popular and early booking is advised. Please place your reservation with Zoe Shippey on Norwich 250840. PARENTS' TRAVEL SURVEY These can now be accepted until Friday 1 March. |
