Beech Court: parent visits
The new building was handed over last Friday, and staff have begun moving in. The building contains a sixth form centre, a Library, four art studios and a sixth form art studio. During September many parents will be coming into School for various events, so Beech Court will be open as follows for parental visits. Later in the year, some staff will be based in Beech Court for yeargroup parents' evenings. Pictures will also be shown on the website and in other publications.
Calendar
As you will be aware the School is not printing a hard-copy calendar so parents should refer to the online calendar which is kept regularly up to date.

Parents may wish to consult the online calendar and the term dates page now to remind themselves of the beginnings and ends of each half-term.
