Announcements & Lesson Information
Term Calendar
The dates for the 2023/24 year are published HERE. Please note that these are subject to change and we will let you know as and when they are altered.
Snacks During Lessons
Children are encouraged to bring along a snack as lessons are often energetic. However, sweets should not be brought along as lollies and similar items are a choking hazard when playing during breaks, whilst sweets in general can cause hyperactivity which can interfere with concentration levels during lessons. Please ensure snacks are either fruit or low sugar foods. Likewise, only still drinks are allowed.
Attendance
Attendance is incredibly important and children should miss no more than 2 lessons per term and no lessons 6 weeks before exams or the production, or this could lead to children having reduced involvement or being withdrawn from the exams/production.
Learning Area
As part of the diverse syllabus throughout the year, children will need to rely upon certain supporting material for lessons and in particular the exams and production will also involve the need to practice at home. The learning resources are found below:
