Dear All
As promised last week, I want to share with you the details for our year group and whole staff photos. This is something that has not taken place for many years but is something that I believe provides a snapshot of Polesworth at this current moment in time.
The timetable for each year group is detailed below. Each year group is required to go to the Sports Hall in their allocated period on Monday 8th May.
It will be lovely to capture a moment in time at Polesworth and will provide a great memory for the school as a whole. I very much look forward to seeing the final photos.

Music Department News
Just before the Easter holidays a bunch of enthusiastic music makers visited Ingestre Hall for a weekend. Ingestre Hall provides artistic students the chance to develop their skills and record performances as well as just being fun!!!
A great time was had by all and a HUGE thanks go out to Mrs Rowe, Mrs Favell and Mrs Grattan for organising and supporting the trip. Special thanks go to Mr Meads who helped our groups practice and prepare their performances.
Ingestre are preparing the recordings and they will be uploaded to our website shortly.
LIVE LOUNGE
Is now happening on Friday May 12th in the main hall. It is advised that people buy their tickets from Parent Pay ASAP as we have to turn people away most years when we reach capacity. Doors open at 6.30, bring a bottle (Strictly over 18’s only).
DRUM LESSONS We have spaces for drum tuition with our peripatetic teacher, Bob Wyer. If you are interested, please see a member of the music department for a letter. Lessons will be on Fridays in the practice rooms.
GOOD LUCK!!! Good luck to all of our instrumentalists who are taking exams this term. Also a big good luck to all of our option students who will be leaving us after Live Lounge. It has been a pleasure teaching you all and we wish you luck in your future adventures!
