I am so pleased to be writing this blog with students back in school. Last Wednesday was an extremely challenging day, and once again I am really sorry that I had to close the school for the majority of the students for the rest of that week. Yesterday we were able to welcome back three year groups, and by the end of the week we will have everyone back. It is always good to be in students’ company.
Yesterday, students in
Year 11 completed their CAG exams and so return to normal school today. Over the last six days the students in Year
11 have been exemplary – conducting themselves brilliantly and representing
themselves and their school well. The
entire school community should be very proud to know we have a year group of
fine Maidstonians. Well done boys.
This week we host our
first virtual parents’ evening. Parents of year 12 students will hopefully see
and hear their child’s teachers via the internet, and at the same time hear
some positive feedback. Let us hope it
all works!
On Friday we will be
holding our annual You Can Help Christmas Appeal Charity Day where we ask
students to bring in non-perishable food items to support the homeless. Despite the difficult circumstance we are all
in we still wish to continue to support this worthwhile charity, and so the day
is still going ahead. It will be the usual non-uniform day, and we ask that
students pay £1 for the privilege.
Friday is also National Christmas Jumper Day so students are welcome to
wear a Christmas jumper to school.
