Dear Parents/Carers
I hope you and your family are well and your child is feeling refreshed as we prepare for the start of the new term. College opens to students tomorrow (Tuesday 7th January at 8:30am) and we look forward to welcoming everyone back. The weather forecast is looking OK, and all staff have managed to get into College today.
As students get ready to return to College tomorrow, we understand that it can sometimes be a bit of an adjustment after time off. To help make the transition as smooth as possible for your child, here are a few key pointers:
- Early Night: A restful night’s sleep can make a big difference. Encouraging your child to head to bed a little earlier tonight can help them feel more energised and ready for the first day back.
- Prepare for the Day: It’s a good idea to check Class Charts for classes tomorrow and for the rest of the week. This will help your child feel confident about what to expect when they arrive at College and can help with what equipment they may need too.
- Uniform Reminder: As part of our uniform policy, please ensure that any false nails or eyelashes are removed – please see the Uniform policy for details, this includes our uniform and information on hair styles too.
- Mobile phones: As soon as students enter the College site, their phone will need to be powered down and in their bag.
We know that a positive start can set the tone for the rest of the term, and we’re here to support your child every step of the way.
Please inform the year teams if there are any important family updates that the College should be aware of. If your family is facing any challenges, don’t hesitate to reach out – we’re here to help and support you. Additionally, kindly notify the office if your contact details have changed.
There is a lot happening this term and all key dates for events and Parents’ Evenings are on the website and will be highlighted in Friday’s newsletter that is sent through Class Charts.
We look forward to welcoming your child back to College and to a wonderful start to 2025!
Mr Cormack
