Dress Down Day Cancelled
In light of the fact that seniors have exams coming up in the next
few weeks and full concentration in classes is essential, we have taken the
decision to cancel the dress down day on the last day of term. ALL
pupils should come to school in full uniform with the necessary equipment they
require for their classes. However, watch this space for other exciting
fundraising activities/dress downs days we have planned for later in the school
year!
