Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead. When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real: 📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form. 📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways. 🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way. Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances. Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception. Your grades. Your future. Your move.

🍕👩‍🍳 Our new KS3 Cooking Club got off to a fantastic start on Tuesday under the guidance of Mr Delaney! Students developed key kitchen skills including weighing, mixing, grating and baking, while working collaboratively and safely in the kitchen. Their first challenge was to create delicious Pizza Pinwheels and they certainly rose to the occasion. The enthusiasm, effort and creativity on display resulted in some impressive (and very tasty!) creations. Well done to everyone who took part. We can’t wait to see what our budding chefs cook up next time! 👏

From influencer promotions to in-game adverts, children are exposed to advertising across their digital lives. But with developing critical thinking skills and increasingly sophisticated marketing techniques, recognising when content is trying to sell them something isn’t always easy. Our latest guide examines: • The growing influence of influencer marketing on children’s purchasing decisions • How online advertising can create pressure on parents to buy products • The impact of unrealistic expectations around products, appearance and lifestyle • Exposure to harmful or age-inappropriate advertising • The risks of unintended purchases through games, apps and online platforms • How a lack of advertising transparency can make promotional content difficult to recognise Access the guide: https://vist.ly/5ratc
