Christmas dinner will therefore be taking place next week. We are also asking students to come in non uniform and in addition to wear something Christmassy - this could be a jumper, a hat, a full reindeer outfit or even just a happy Christmas smile.

We are aware that a number of students have been having to self-isolate and know how disruptive this can be. We want to try to ensure that our Christmas activities can take place with as little chance of disruption as possible. At present all self-isolating students will be back in school by the 9th December.

We plan to end this term by 12.00pm (11.50am for years 8 and 9) on Friday 18th December. There is no change to the end of term. However, as with all of our planning, we want to remain a step ahead of any potential changes or disruption and thus the reason for the change of date of the Christmas lunch and non-uniform day.
