• Message from Mr Seymour: School will reopen on Tuesday 19th September

  Monday 18th, 9am

  Dear Parents and Students,

  I am pleased to be able to inform you that we will be reopening the school from Tuesday the 19th September.

  Contractors have been working over the weekend to ensure the school grounds are safe for pupils but we would like to ask parents to remind their children that the site of the fire is still very hazardous and a working building site.

  Normal drop off and pick up arrangements will be in place on Tuesday as there is now full access to the school site.

Many of the local bus companies have also advised us that normal services will be severly disrupted and many will be cancelled due to road closures.

  As the girls arrived to school they gathered in the sports hall ready for our VIP guest speaker, Dee Higgins, and the warm up kindly organised by Newark Leisure Centre and delivered by their v...
