Our Homework Policy is changing.
Initially, when a student failed to complete their homework, they were given detention during lunch time for half an hour to complete their homework. We have come to realise that this has not proved effective and furthermore combines inability to complete homework with bad behaviour.
Thus, in an effort to address this, and help those students who find it difficult to complete their homework to manage their work load, we are introducing homework club three times a week – Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. We are hoping that these students will complete their homework in school before they go home.

Fines for Unauthorised Leave
This Easter holidays, we had far too many parents taking their children on an extended holiday. Unfortunately, this has had a negative impact on the school’s overall attendance figures, which OFSTED will not look favourably upon. Thus, in order to discourage parents from doing this, we regret to announce that our fines policy is changing. Where currently the fine for taking a child on holiday during term time is £40 per period of absence, from next year the fine will increase to £20 per day.
