We have encouraged pupils to make the most of the expertise offered by their subject teachers and the wider opportunities available to them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We ask that parents\/carers continue to support their child to be equipped for school, to be on time and to maintain regular attendance. We also remind parents and carers that their child&#8217;s Tutor, Assistant Head of Year and Head of Year are available should there be any areas of concern or matters to bring to the school\u2019s attention.

Sicily, with temperatures in the high teens in early April as well as an abundance of exciting tectonic geography, seemed just right.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And so it was. Pupils enjoyed two and a half days of warmth and sunshine while they explored the Cyclops Coast with sea stacks made of basalt, and the Alcantara Gorge carved through prismatic lava columns. During such weather they also ascended Mt Etna, which is Europe&#8217;s highest and most active volcano, although it was fortunately having a quiet day when we were there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the last full day we did endure rather strong winds and stormy seas for a somewhat nauseating boat ride to the Aeolian Islands but seeing the islands of Vulcano and Lipari made up for it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Blackman wishes to commend the pupils who went on the trip. They were wonderful company and behaved exemplarily. He also wishes to thank the staff who came (Mr Atkins, Mrs Brooker, Miss Adams, Miss Haynes and Miss Deathers) as they also ensured the trip was a success; such a success, in fact, that we&#8217;ll be off there again in 2024 with the current Year 10.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Year 10\u00a0 Movie Afternoon<\/h2>\n<p>Pupils in Year 10 enjoyed an afternoon off timetable on Friday afternoon as a reward for achieving 150 House points which is fantastic.\u00a0 They should be very proud of their achievement and their hard work.
