Stationery

Full stationery is not required for Wednesday or Thursday, but students are expected to bring a pen and a homework diary/notebook for key messages.  

First Full Day

The first full day of timetabled classes for the year will be Friday 31 January, where students will follow their normal Friday timetabled lessons (so that students will see all of their teachers on their first day on timetable. The day will start with an extended tutor time). Normal school start time of 8:30am, and finish time of 3:15pm, apply from Friday 31 January. It is recommended that students come to school with appropriate stationery on this first day of timetabled lessons.
