| End of Term Arrangements |
| The school year ends on Friday, 20th July. The day will
be shortened to allow us to say our goodbyes to the staff
who are leaving Priesthorpe this year. Following an assembly
in the Sports Hall and a session with their Form Tutor, the
day will finish at 12.30 for all students.
Please note the arrangements for the staggered start to
the new school year. Students should arrive at school for
an 8.45 am start on the relevant day.

| Teenage
Cancer Trust |
Earlier this year, the School
Council decided that the Teenage Cancer Trust would
be our charity for the year, and agreed to raise money to
support the work of the TCT.
During June and July, 9H have been busy selling dog tags,
wristbands and T-shirts, and have helped to raise over £700
for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Well done to everyone who was
involved in the fundraising - and to everyone who supported
them by buying something. |

| School Uniform |
The School Uniform Guide that
was issued with the recent newsletter advertised that
our uniform supplier, Frank Harrison Ltd., were introducing
an online ordering service. Unfortunately we have learnt from
the company that they have encountered some problems in setting
up their new service, although they do expect to be able to
have the service available before the end of term. We, and
they, apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Update: For further details of the
online service, click

| Year 9 Go Over the Top! |
At midnight on Thursday 12th July forty-four Year 9 students
and six staff headed off to trenches sites in France and Belgium.
This fantastic trip, run by Mrs Hart for a number of years,
helps to bring history to life and shows pupils the realities
of the First World War. There was a packed programme for the
three day trip, including visits to Ypres and the Somme region.
The pupils involved in the trip were selected from many eager
would-be participants. Priorities for the trip are a keen
interest in history and a record of good behaviour. There
was an excellent group travelling this year, and a good time
was had by all. Look out for the pictures here on the school
website early in the new academic year!
