Strike Days - Wednesday 5 July 2023 & Friday 7 July 2023

All pupils in Years 7 - 10 should remain at home on both the strike days; Wednesday 5 & Friday 7 July 2023. They will receive live lessons from non-striking teachers. There will be no lesson if their teacher is striking. No buses will be running on these two days.

Chicago Rehearsal
Any pupils who have been asked to attend the Chicago Rehearsal on Friday 7 July 2023, will need to make their own way to/from the college as there are no school bus services running on this day. Please also bring a packed lunch and drink, as there will only be snacks available to buy during lunchtime.

Toilet Facilities & Water Bottles

Pupils can go to the toilet, or fill their drinks bottles, within the 4 minutes (5 in extremely hot weather) allocated to get from one lesson to another. In addition, pupils are, of course, able to go at the beginning and end of the day, at break and at lunchtime. There are toilets in most blocks (S, W, A, M & R) as well as 10 new toilets in the newly built block next to the tennis courts, so pupils should be able to visit between lessons and still get to their lesson on time.
