Staff have been busy all week getting the school ready for the new year, organising classrooms, preparing lessons, checking the final details and making sure everything is ready for our students. The school is looking fantastic and we are excited to welcome everyone back. Enjoy the last few days of the holiday, and we’ll see you all on Monday!
There is lots of important information below to help the school year start smoothly. If you have any questions, please contact the Admin Office for assistance.
