S6 - remember tomorrow definitely isn't your last day. There is no way we will finish like this after 6 years. You will have your last day. Every other year had to endure a song from the head teacher and there is no way you are getting out of that. #classof2020

On a difficult day for all connected to our school community, it's never been more important to remember the true meaning of Christmas. Hope, Joy, Peace & Love. We are always together when we follow these teachings. We wish you all a happy & Holy Christmas

Today is the last day of term for all pupils. As such pupils will not be expected to complete curriculum work over the next fortnight. Instead homework will be developing key life skills - learn how the iron works & discover how the washing machine magically cleans your clothes.
