Please check your child’s planner weekly, where you will see homework details and a record of their PDFL score in each lesson and any negative behaviour. There will also be Progress Reviews where parents/carers will meet with subject teachers to discuss progress.

What is Frog?

Frog is our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) where students can access the school IT system via the web.

Is there anything for my child to do after school?

There is a fantastic range of activities available after school and details will be given in September.
