Dear Parents and Carers

On behalf of all my colleagues, thank you for all of your support and kindness through 2023. It’s certainly been a busy year but we’ve also enjoyed some successes and learned a great deal about how to push forward as a school.

But now it’s time for a rest, especially our year 11s and year 13s who have all been encouraged to switch off and reenergise. As with all year groups, we shall do right by them again in their final months – and help them secure a really successful and happy 2024.

Annual Report to Stakeholders

Meanwhile, please follow this link to the RLT Annual Report to Stakeholders: December 2023. This report provides a brief review of the past year across the River Learning Trust.

And finally…

During the school closure, if you have a concern about a child, please call the MASH team (Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub) on 0345 050 7666 during office hours (8.30am – 5pm, Monday to Thursday, 8.30am – 4pm, Friday). Outside office hours you can call the Emergency Duty Team on 0800 833 408.

If you are concerned that a crime may have been committed, then you can call the police on 101 for non-urgent concerns. For urgent concerns, call 999.

Our [email protected] email account will only be checked occasionally and therefore only suitable for non-emergency advice, reassurance and guidance if needed.

The school reopens for all students on Tuesday 9 January 2024. In the meantime, we wish you all a happy and restful break with family, friends and neighbours.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Yours faithfully
Barry Doherty
Headteacher
