Weekly communication for staff

Dear colleagues,

We have reached another milestone in the school year and the days are becoming brighter again.

It has been great to see the extra-curricular back. I've popped a few pictures (taken from Twitter) down below. This has such a positive influence on our young people and school ethos. Please keep posting - it is realy helpful to showcase the many things that go on behind the scenes.

Thank you all for your input in the classrooms and supporting the school this term. I hope that you all have a fantastic break.

Don't forget to come back on 21st to do it all over again!

Elaine
