Year 8 End of Key Stage 3 Assessment (document)
A guidance sheet with advice for end of Key Stage 3 assessments in Maths, Science and English. Please read this through with your child to ensure they are fully prepared.
 
Session 3 Arrangements (document)
Details of the Session 3 Programme up until half term. This term, all sports-related Session 3 activities will commence on Monday 4 January, the first day back. All other scheduled Session 3 activities will start on 11 January. 
 
Snow and Possible School Closure (document)
Please read this important information and keep the sheet to hand for future reference.
 
The Land Registry
We have been asked by this neighbouring organisation to remind parents that they must not use the Land Registry access road as a dropping off/collection zone. In addition, some cars are pulling up in the entrance to this private road to drop off students. This causes a dangerous obstruction and the Land Registry will be reporting offending vehicles to the Police.
 
Road Safety (document)
We are most concerned that the illegal and thoughtless behaviour of a small number of parents outside the School is causing danger to our students. Please carefully read this advice from the Road Safety Group. 
 
Personal Property
It is vital to ensure that your child’s clothing, shoes and property is clearly marked with their name otherwise it is almost impossible for lost property items to be successfully reunited with their owners. Parents (and students) can register any lost items by emailing details to lostproperty@ttsonline.net or by completing a form available at Reception.
 
Mobile Phones, School Uniform and Other Issues for Discussion (document)
Please replace the sheet issued in the October half term mailshot with this updated version. Which should be kept for reference inside the student portfolio.
 
Advisory Council Social Development Committee Christmas Draw
A list of the winners of the Christmas Draw is available on the website and paper copies are available from Reception.  Approximately £1300 was raised and this will go towards supporting activities and learning for the students. The Advisory Council and the Social Development Committee do a wonderful job in supporting the School. Thanks to those parents who give so much of their time to help the School.
 
School Production
This year, the School Production will be ‘High School Musical’. We will be performing from Sunday 28 until Wednesday 31 March and some of the major roles will be shared so that the students will not be too tired.
