Dear Parents/Carers,

All Year 10 students return to school tomorrow with Year 13 and Years 11 and 12 exam students.  We will keep Years 7, 8 and 9 parents updated with progress each day.

Following a meeting with loss adjusters and our insurance company, work has already started to return the school to full capacity.

The recent flooding has been acknowledged as a major incident and I take this opportunity to thank parents and carers for your patience and support, as we work hard to make more areas and classrooms available for students.

However, even when all the students have returned, we will not have access to 13 classrooms until September 2013. This is an indication of how destructive this flooding was to our community.

Once again, I can only apologise for any inconvenience and for circumsatnces completely out of our control.

Very best wishes.
Mrs. M Matthews
Headteacher
