From the Headteacher...

I would like to thank all parents and staff in supporting the school in keeping open for most days in the recent bad weather. We were forced to close on Thursday and Friday of last week due to the safety of the school site and because so few staff were able to reach the school from home. This is the first time the school has been forced to close for bad weather in the last twelve years!

We will always try to keep you informed of the current situation in poor weather. The school website is always the most reliable and up-to-date source of information, particularly as the County Council website cannot always cope with the number of people trying to access it at once. Similarly Radio Gloucestershire is usually more reliable for information about school closures than Severn Sound. We also used text and voicemail to contact parents last week and we hope that was successful - but apologies to those who received the message more than once!

We have re-arranged Year 11 Parents Evening for Thursday 12th February between 5.00pm and 7.00pm, and I hope that the majority of parents can attend this very important event.
