SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

Future Newsletters |
This is a shortened, introductory issue of our
school newsletter. We plan that future editions will be twice
the length!
It is hoped that a Newsletter will be circulated every half
term; it will also be posted here on the web site.
All staff and pupils will be invited to contribute, as will,
on occasions, governors, parents and community groups.
If you have any suggestions or comments about the newsletter,
please e-mail us.
If you haven’t got access to e-mail, then your child
could do it for you. Failing that, there is always traditional
post! For further details and addresses, click
here.

| Weather watch |
 |
Despite the poor weather (and consequent
leaks/floods etc.), we have managed to keep the school fully
open. Be assured, we will do all we can to inform you of any
changes to school opening arrangements — listen to Radio
Leeds and check the web site for up to date information and
advice; for further details, click

| Sports College / Partnership
Update |
| |
|
Congratulations to Alex Bell, Grace Christopher and Ryan
Greaves for gaining their City colours in Athletics and
being chosen to represent Leeds in Dortmund, Germany in
March. We are very proud of their achievements.
|
We are also very proud to have received the new 2006
Sportsmark Award for exceptional delivery of the
National
School Sport Strategy.
Hopefully we will be notified in March of our successful
re-designation as a Sports
College, taking us up to 2010.
More news will be issued in our Young
Reporters Newsletter in February. This is a
new project involving Year 8 and Year 10 students
working together with the Yorkshire Post newspaper.
