Parent Bulletin No.38

Dear Parent/Carer

The end of the school year is approaching fast and this is the penultimate newsletter for this year.  

Can I remind parents that school is closed to students this Tuesday (Buckley Jubilee) and term ends for the summer holidays next Friday, 15th July.

We have held our celebration assemblies this week and it has been very pleasing to see how many merits and certificates of achievement students have gained.
