A meeting took place of our Parent Forum on Tuesday 17 May 2016. The main item of discussion was Rewards. Mr Van Lier, our new Deputy Principal who will be joining us in June, attended the meeting to hear the views of parents regarding celebrating pupil success.

The Year 10 Parents' Evening will take place on Thursday 12 May 2016 from 4.30 pm - 7.00 pm and the Year 8 Parents' Evening on Thursday 19th May 2016 from 4.30 pm - 7.00 pm.

The Local Authority has been working together with local schools and Academies to reduce the amount of leave taken in term time, by requesting that Penalty Notices are issued under Section 444(1) of the Education Act 1996 (amended regulations 2013).

Parents need to be aware that as of Monday 25 April 2016, Northamptonshire County Council is changing the policy, which will mean that a Penalty Notice will be issued for 5 days of absence (the equivalent of 10 sessions) rather than 10 days (the equivalent of 20 sessions).

May I take this opportunity to wish you all a restful and refreshing Easter holiday.

Now this may be a message that you are surprised to hear me say as the Principal with the Year 11s preparing in earnest for the upcoming exams.  However, it is a message that I have always given to pupils as they embark on a school holiday: "don't work too hard", but I always go on to say "but don't do nothing."  This is the key to successful preparation in the run up to the summer exams.  

We would like to bring your attention to our new link to the National Apprenticeship Service in the Student area of this website.
