DUrIng the school Day
The number of items and messages being brought in for students
has increased. Whilst we are always willing to help, the
interruption of lessons is causing disruption not only to the
student involved but is also affecting the learning of others.
Students need to be more responsible and organise themselves for
school, making sure they bring everything required at the start of
the day.
With this in mind, we are only able to deliver items or messages
to students during the course of the day if it is an emergency. If
a student is aware that items will be brought in, they will then be
able to collect them personally from Students Services at break or
lunchtime.
Thank you for your co-operation.
absences
Please remember to telephone us first thing in the morning if
your child will not be in school for any reason.
Alternatively you can e-mail [email protected]
This e-mail address can also be used to advise of absences in
advance or to clear outstanding absences.

More than 30 people took part in our latest Family Activity Day
on Saturday 5th February.
Groups enjoyed sewing with Sue Berridge, pottery with Jenny
Brogan, cooking with Chef Paul Bennett and activities linked to the
Chinese New Year making Chinese Lanterns and dragons with Tessa
Angell.
Lunch was a wonderful Chinese banquet where we tried out chop
sticks and opened our fortune cookies!
These family days provide a fantastic opportunity for adults and
children to try something new; have fun together and they are
completely FREE!
The next day in this series is already being planned for
Saturday 2nd April. Places must be booked in advance by contacting

Ana Weber and Nathan Quinn-Jarvis received grants of 300 each
from the Go Gold Talented Athlete Awards Scheme to aid them in
their continuing training and participation in Tennis and Golf
respectively.
The grant was presented to them by the Chairman of
Leicestershire County Council at a awards ceremony held at County
Hall, Glenfield.

County Council website. www.leics.gov.uk/civic
In our Citizenship lessons, we are running a campaign for a
school allotment. To start off we sent out questionnaires to
students and staff. The majority of people wanted an allotment
because it would mean less food miles, which is better for the
environment. Also a lot of people said the fruit and vegetables
would taste better because they wouldnt have any of the
chemicals.
We would like to grow our own organic food so it is healthier
and we know what is added to the food. The kitchen staff think it
is a good idea and are willing to cook food from the allotment and
cook fresh vegetables, they would like us to grow potatoes and
other veg. It could be in the corner of the field.
Thanks to Mrs Turner for her very positive response to our
campaign.
