This week we have held open events for new parents and students in year seven and in reception. Student ambassadors and sixth formers were on hand to help and talk to the new arrivals. They were all brilliant and a large number of parents came to speak to me to congratulate them. I gave my thanks on the evening and in assembly this morning.

We have e mailed parents this week about avoiding high caffeine drinks. We have asked that staff in local Tesco stores refuse to serve our students specific drinks not suitable for children. Please do support us with this.

I continue to enjoy cycling in to work and occasionally running from the park and ride in Long Ashton. Sustrans are promoting an alternative travel promotion beginning on the 16th June called "The Big Commute" I am encouraging staff and students to explore other ways of getting into school over the remaining three weeks of term and beyond.

Staff are beginning to prepare resources for students to access over the holidays. It will be important that all students engage in wider reading over the holidays. Please do look at the VLE for updates.
