Unlocking potential ….Changing livesPrincipal’s News
We had a full house at our
Open Evening on Wednesday
evening and it was great to
meet potential new learners
and their parents. As ever the
DC team were fantastic - every
department showcasing what
we are all about! The
feedback we received was
superb. Huge thanks to my
whole team, the learners who
supported and the catering
staff!
Departmental reviews have
continued this week and will be
complete by the end of next
Alliance on the project with the
support of Mr Gardner and
Cllr Burgess - watch this space!
I am looking forward to our Re
start a Heart day next Friday - as
a nurse, Cardiology was my
specialism and I know first-hand
that lives really are saved by the
quick intervention with CPR. We
will have 10 local Doctors and
Paramedics in school for the full
d a y a n d t r a i n i n g w i l l b e
delivered to all year groups.
I hope you all have a wonderful
weekend.
