Headteacher, Mr Michael Wright, has now confirmed the school will reopen tomorrow. He said: "A number of areas of school are still closed (Lab 5, Lab 7, Tech 5 and Room 16) and part of the science corridor is not accessible. These areas are likely to be out of action for a number of weeks. Pupils must follow re-direction carefully. The school has rescheduled the sponsored walk for Friday, September 23rd. Please collect sponsors this week and return forms to school by Monday (September 19th). Year 7 CAT tests scheduled for 19th and 20th September have been postponed until October 3rd and 4th.

"Many thanks for all your support and patience - especially Year 9 pupils. Our Open Evening will take place as planned on Thursday, October 6th, between 6-30 and 8-30 pm."
