Please open to see details
Dear Parent/Carers,
I hope you all have a very happy and relaxing Summer break. Below you will find details of the arrangements for the new school year in September. Also I have included another copy of the details for the new timings of the school day.

Changes to the timings of the school day
From September 2016, students will be dismissed from school at 1.30pm every Wednesday. However, lunches will be served up until 2:00pm for any students who wish to stay. From 2:00pm to 3:00pm there will be a planned programme of sport, intervention, educational activities and homework clubs, details of which will be circulated at a later date.
These after school activities will be run in conjunction with Castle Green and students can voluntarily join the activities, or parents can request that their son/daughter is part of this supervised programme every Wednesday. Some may be compulsory and parents will be notified individually if this is the case.
The period that students will miss on Wednesday afternoon will now be replaced by a 6 period day on a Monday, with students being dismissed from school at 4.05pm.
The other significant change is that students will no longer register with their tutors at the end of the school day. The final electronic registration of the day will take place during the last lesson of the day. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday students will therefore be dismissed from school at 3.05pm.
Below I have included a table to show the basic changes for September 2016.
