Thanks so much for your perseverance with getting your child into school with the recent increase in winter illnesses that are flying around. It is greatly appreciated.
It isn't only students that have been suffering but also staff too so you may have noticed that students may not had their normal teacher for their lessons at various points during the week. This is simply down to the fact that staff have not been immune to the winter bugs that are going around too and have been unwell.
We have stressed to all staff and students about the importance of positive personal hygiene (frequent hand washing, using tissues, etc.) and have also commissioned additional cleaning to complete more frequent deep cleans.
Thanks once again for your support

Redditch Borough Council is calling on residents to help protect and enhance our woodlands by growing trees at home.
Ash Dieback disease has had a devastating impact on woodlands across Europe, including throughout Redditch.
Whilst the borough is fortunate to have nearly three million trees, the council aren’t sitting back, they are replacing lost trees and planning for the future as a vital part of their Woodland Management Plan.
When saplings are replanted, they have a greater survival rate the more mature they are and therefore a greater chance to become a mature tree.
However, mature saplings are very expensive, and no external funding is available for this sort of futureproofing. That’s where residents can help.
Portfolio Holder for Woodland Management, Cllr Jen Snape, said: “We need residents who care passionately about protecting our woodlands for future generations to get involved and volunteer to grow and care for saplings at home.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity for residents and the council to work together for the benefit of everyone. It will also help keep replanting costs as low as possible so our budget can be spent on other vital services.”
The council is focusing on planting resilient native species to improve biodiversity and reduce the risks of monoculture. The species we are most keen to cultivate locally is Quercus Robur (English Oak).
Autumn is the perfect time to collect acorns, and the council can provide pots, soil, support canes, and expert advice to help you get started.
Cllr Snape added: “It would be really useful if our volunteer growers could email us to let us know what they’re growing and help us track progress until the saplings are ready to plant.”
“When your tree is finally ready, you’ll have naming rights and the chance to take part in the planting. You could name a tree in memory of a loved one or even after yourself! Either way, we’d love to hear from you.”
If you’d like to get involved, email growtrees@bromsgroveandredditch.gov.uk and the council will provide all the support and materials you need.
