Welcome back to the new school year
>
We started back on Monday 3rd September with two staff training days. Pupils started on Wednesday 5th in their new class groups. We have 12 starters this year and they will have a phased transition over the first month. Parents and taxis should already have their timetables. The 12 pupils who moved on at the end of last term have all started in their new schools. Of these, 7 pupils have mainstream secondary school places, 1 pupil has transferred to another special school, 3 pupils have places in support centres and 1 has a place with an alternative provider.

At the end of the summer term we had a number of events including Sports Day and the annual trip to the seaside at Cleethorpes.

REMINDER – Pupils should not be taken out of school during term time for family holidays. Doing so may result in a fine. The Head Teacher can give permission for absence from school for a family holiday only in Exceptional Circumstances. Permission forms are available from the main school office.

Our Residential Provision was inspected back in January, and the report from this is now available on-line from the Ofsted website. You can reach this by following the Ofsted link on the Parent Info drop down menu. The overall judgement was again ‘GOOD’ with ‘OUTSTANDING’ for ‘How well children are helped and protected’.
