  • Uniform Thank You

    Published 28/05/24

    Thank you SO MUCH for your response to my recent letter about school uniform! Yesterday was the start of the new timetable and it was clear to see that a significant number of conversations about uniform had taken place in families. This has resulted in many  more of our pupils attending school in uniform. I really appreciate your support on this matter.

    I know a number of you have reasonable questions about the consequences for those not routinely wearing uniform. The consequences- you might not be surprised to learn- will take account of a pupil’s individual circumstances. For those affected by poverty, we’ll help them access clothing grants and our school uniform bank. For those affected by sensory issues, we’ll seek some compromises around clothing items. For those who don’t really have any excuse then it might be a meeting with parents/carers or it might be ‘catch up time’ (otherwise known as detention in the past).

    The senior management team will be carrying out spot checks this term and regularly when we return in August. In the meantime, thank you again for your support.

    Battlefields Tour 2024 – Day One

    After a long journey our group arrived in Belgium, first going to Tyne Cott Cemetery, where they visited the grave of former Royal Academy pupil, F. M. Mackenzie, killed during the Battle of Passchendaele.  We then travelled to the German war grave site of Langemark, before heading to Ypres to spend time at the ‘In Flanders Field’ Museum.

    Battlefields Tour 2024 – Day Two

    On the second day of the Battlefields Tour pupils visited the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 – a fascinating museum with an extensive collection of artefacts as well as a ‘Dugout Experience’ and a trench system.  Following this the group laid a wreath at the Frezenberg Ridge Scottish Memorial.  With free-time in the afternoon, pupils (& staff) had an opportunity to sample Belgian chocolates.  Later that evening, the group attended ‘The Last Post’ ceremony at the Menin Gate, where a wreath was laid on behalf of the school.

    Battlefields Tour 2024 – Day Three & Four then home…

    The third day of the Battlefields Tour saw the long journey from Belgium to France an the area of the Somme.  First visiting the Canadian National Vimy Memorial and Park, the group then travelled to Beaumont Hamel Newfoundland Memorial Park.  Here the group laid a wreath at the Monument to the 51st Highland Division.  The last two stops of the day were at the imposing Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme and finally, the Lochnagar Crater.  The following day the pupils went to this place called ‘Disneyland’ and then it was the long trek home…
