All Pupils
End of Term Arrangements
We have amended the arrangements for Christmas Lunches, so that pupils are having their Christmas lunch on the same day as their celebration assembly, the running order is now as below:
Monday – Year 11
Tuesday – Year 10
Wednesday – Year 9
Thursday – Year 8
Friday – Year 7 (will have their lunch during period 4)
Pupils are encouraged to wear something ‘Christmassy’ on Friday 20 December 2024. This is not a non-uniform day; pupils are still expected to wear their normal College uniform with a token Christmas gesture. This might be one of the following:
- a jumper
- earrings
- a hat
- socks
- a piece of tinsel
Friday 20 December 2024 will be an early finish with pupils leaving site at 12:40pm. Our transport operators have been informed and will be on site to collect pupils at this time. Please note that any pupils who travel on the 649 Stagecoach public bus service will need to make alternative arrangements for getting home early, as Stagecoach are unable to amend the collection time from 3.00 pm to 12.40 pm.

Containers Needed for Art Department
If you have any empty take away tubs, newspapers and screw top containers at home, please consider donating these to the art department as they will gladly re-use them. You can drop these off at visitor reception, or pupils can take them to R01. Please see attached some photos of the type of containers that are needed.
Nasal Flu Vaccine
Flu vaccines were administered in school this week by the School Age Immunisation Service. If your child missed the session but you would still like them to have the vaccine, the system has now reopened, and you can submit a consent form. The nursing team will then be in touch to invite you to a community clinic. The link to the consent form can be found here: Winter Flu Vaccination programme: Hampshire Healthy Families The School Code is: SH116424.
