School of the Year 2023?

We are proud to have been shortlisted for the York Community Pride Awards, School of the Year 2023!

The awards ceremony will take place at York Racecourse on Thursday 28th September. We will be keeping our fingers crossed!

Flamingo Land

Rain didn’t stop play at Flamingo Land. It’s always a great trip for pupils to end the year on and this year was no different.

Rewards

Well done to all pupils who have received awards today in assembly, especially pupils who have earned their gold 100% attendance badges. This is a real achievement to be celebrated.

Big congratulations to Ignis who reclaim the House Cup from Aqua! Well done Mrs Crotty and all Ignis pupils.

Community Cupboard

A reminder that the community cupboard is open on Friday 4th August and Thursday 24th August if you would like any items. Please pre-order a bag through Karen Tattersfield.

Uniform and jewellery reminder

Please ensure that all pupils return for the new term in full school uniform. This includes plain black footwear and no leggings. Further details can be found on the school website.

We will look forward to seeing Year 11 pupils collect their results on the 24th.

Have a great summer and we will see you in September.
