PRIESTHORPE
SCHOOL NEWSLETTER Short but hectic perhaps best describes the term which finishes next week. It's been an interesting period, made more so by the first sustained snowfall for many years. Thank you for your support and understanding. We take decisions whether to close or whether to remain open only after careful thought, and the health and safety of pupils and staff is paramount in our thinking. Our communication system
via Radio Leeds and Radio Aire, by our own website and by the
prompt answering of the phone, worked well. The phone was in constant
use between 6.30am and 8.30am, and we have two lines into school. We maintained an excellent attendance record throughout the period.
If school is open it is essential that you make every effort to
get your child here. On the worst day we had a Year 10 Science
exam and only five students out of 200 didn't make it. Most of
those five were ill. Well done Year 10! Comic Relief Comic Relief will be supported with a No School Uniform Day on Friday 11th March. It is important that the day is not abused by inappropriate dress. The staff have been asked to dress in red this year so perhaps your child could support that theme. As always we will ask for a donation of £1.00.
Year 9 parents will be aware that there is a Parents'
Evening on Tuesday 15th March. This is an important evening
prior to the cohort choosing their courses for Years 10 and 11.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday. Holidays We break up on Friday 18th March. We will finish school at the normal time. Monday 4th April is a training day and so students re-start on the Tuesday. As always, please get in touch if there are matters you need to discuss. Yours sincerely,
