Dear Parents and students 

I hope you all had a peaceful Easter. 

We welcomed students back to school this morning for what will be a busy but brief half-term. 

You will be aware from the media that the NEU have announced further days of industrial action, scheduled for Thursday, April 27^th and Tuesday, May 2^nd.  We intend to run these 2 days in the same manner as we ran the previous days of industrial action – IE with students in Years 11 – 13 attending on site with students in Years 7 – 10 undertaking remote learning. I am grateful to you all for your understanding in respect of this ongoing situation, for which I can only apologise. 

With the Bank Holidays falling as they do, the following picture emerges for this half-term. 

Thursday, April 27th	Years 11, 12 & 13 on site learning at Brockhill;  Years 7 – 10 Remote Learning
Monday, May 1st	Bank Holiday
Tuesday, May 2nd	Years 11, 12 & 13 on site learning at Brockhill;  Years 7 – 10 Remote Learning
Monday, May 8th	Bank Holiday King’s Coronation

Otherwise our Term Dates are unchanged.  

In what is clearly a busy ‘wider world’, we will focus this half-term on our core message to students of the importance of kindness to others, along with encouraging them to submit their personal best home- and classwork assignments. 

Thank you as ever for your support.

Yours sincerely, 

Charles Joseph
