Two Week October HalfTerm Proposal We are grateful to all those who responded to the survey. The governors are now considering your comments and will be informing you of a decision in the coming weeks.
Maths Puzzle Termly Maths Puzzle Starting this term, there will be a Termly Maths Puzzle for parents and students to work on together at home. The termly puzzle is
designed to encourage you and your child to work together on a problem that can be mathematical or logical in nature. We would ask that you work with your child rather than simply complete the puzzle for them or get them to complete it alone.
In the meantime, please continue to pay for items via cheque or cash in the normal manner via your child.
Any correct entry submitted to Mrs Penfold by the closing date will receive a House Point. There will then be a prize draw for first, second and third place which will award a higher number of House Points.
Students have been issued with new timetables to reflect the staff changes from January.
The first of our Termly Maths Puzzles can be found on the last page of this newsletter - print and enjoy! NB - use of colours for this puzzle makes the solution easier to see.
You should continue to use your SQuid account for your child's dinner/lunches.
