There was an incident at the school gate this afternoon involving some threatening behaviour from some non school young people.

For information, four or five young men approached the school gate at school leaving time, one threw a bottle towards our students. A number of staff were on duty. We called the police, had the school gate closed and moved our students inside for safety or away from the gate.

There will be a police presence on site during the school day and at the end of school for the forthcoming period.

Members of our staff are gradually returning to school following the disruption to flights caused by volcanic ash.

The school is open as normal for all students on Friday 23 April. The Year 11 Maths exam is scheduled for Lesson 1 and 2; we are rescheduling the second Year 11 Maths exam (which had been due on Monday) for Lesson 3 and 4 on Fri 23 April.

Timings and timetables are as usual for the week starting 26 April.

The following letter went home to Year 7 and Year 11 students on 21 April 2010:

Dear Parents/Carers,

Dear Parents/Carers,

I am writing to confirm arrangements for the first part of this week. I am sure you will understand that the travel situation is completely extraordinary. We have eighteen teaching staff stranded abroad as of today. This makes up a significant proportion of our class teachers. Approximately half of these teachers are in Europe and half are in America or Asia.
