Happy Thursday, we hope you have had a wonderful week and have a relaxing weekend and we will see you on Sunday. 

Back to basics- Student uniform and bags 

School uniform and correct bags are an important part of the school environment and culture. We will send a bag letter and uniform letter to parents this week to remind them what is and isn't allowed. 

How can you as the teacher encourage students to wear the correct uniform and bag?
Is a class reward system a positive way to encourage students to be in correct uniform? Discuss as a team.
Why is correct uniforms and bags important?  


If you are finding students repeatability coming in incorrect uniform or with the wrong bag, please let Nicole or Salma know.

Assessments this term.

We are now 4 weeks into the term, assessments due dates are getting closer. Please make sure you are checking the assessment schedule to be informed of when and what is due. With various deadlines approaching, please ensure that if you need an extension for whatever reason, you personally approach a member of admin to request this. This is a teacher, not team leader, responsibility. We will always consider requests, especially with good reasons such as absence, for example. It is not an option to simply ignore the deadline. This is not professional and inconsiderate to colleagues. Many thanks for your adherence with this.

Outdoor breaks 
Once we get the ok from the Dr we will send an email for outdoor breaks. Please note, we ask all teacher to be on duty for the first break to support. After the first break we will follow the duty rota. Please see the duty rota attached- we will follow the OUTDOOR BREAK DUTY tab.
