The pupils have been collecting materials and donations from people to create our garden area. We have started planting already and have a project group on a Friday to do the project.
A big thank you to Beech Tree Garden Centre for donating the compost!

AQA Unit Award Certificates
A massive well done to the girls from Hair and Beauty who have been awarded their first set of AQA unit award certificates.
I will be rolling out the unit award scheme to all staff over the next few weeks.
Winter Planning
In the event of winter snow warnings, and the distance some pupils have to travel to and from the Woodlands, it may be necessary to arrange early transport from school on occasions and it is VERY important that school have up-to-date contact details for parents / carers
The decision to arrange early transport is not taken lightly and is only taken when there is risk to the safety of students
Please make sure that you have provided us with any changes to your contact telephone number
