This morning during Crew time, Earhart joint with Crew Rosa Parks to listen to them read. It was brilliant to see students of different ages supporting each other in getting smart. 
X22 Had the opportunity to visit the Museum in Newark last week where they listened intently to survivors of the Holocaust and visited the peaceful gardens where they laid a stone for each lost child.
Stand Up To Cancer Bake Sale
Over the last week Crew Piper and Crew Rosa Parks have been holdings Bake Sales during the school day to raise funds for Stand Up To Cancer. We had an amazing response from crew members and their families for all the cakes that were sent in. Students dug deep into their pockets over the 3 days of the sale and we are so pleased to announce that the final total raised was £257.75. A massive thank you to all the students and their families for making this possible.
Here are some photos from the expedition. Well done to everyone, it was a cold one!
There are now around six weeks remaining before our X23 students’ visit to Barcelona. Participants took home a letter last week to invite parents and carers to an information evening on Wednesday 24th April from 5.30 – 6.30.
This event will provide an opportunity for you to receive further information about the itinerary, meet representatives from our travel company – one of whom will accompany us throughout the visit – and for you to ask any questions that you may have. We will also clarify the luggage sizes and liquids permitted in the cabin by the airline.
Please could you bring your child’s passport, EHIC card (if not already provided), details of your GP (name, surgery) and details of any prescribed medication that your child will be taking during the duration of the visit? There will be some forms to complete, including emergency contact details, that are needed before the visit.
Could we also respectfully remind parents and carers that payment for the visit may be made at any time, in instalments, via the Parentpay portal?
Thank you.
There will be sessions from 10 am until 2.30 pm on this date. Students are welcome to arrive at school from 8.30 should they need to, please go to X08 in this case.
The day will be split into morning and afternoon sessions; the morning will be a mix of both subjects, and the afternoon focusing on History. Lunch will be provided. Any questions, please contact Mrs Batty or Mrs Sprakes.
