Christmas Jumper Day – Friday 14th December

Wear your Christmas jumper/cardigan instead of your blazer on Friday 14th December for Christmas Jumper Day!

Donate £1 during tutor time on Friday for Save the Children. All other uniform must be worn.

We’re joining Save the Children’s campaign to help children in the UK and around the world. The money we raise will help them do whatever it takes to make sure the children they help survive, get protection when they’re in danger and have the chance to learn.

Magnus awarded Anti-Bullying Gold Status

We have been working hard to reduce bulling in our academy with the Anti-Bullying Alliance through their All Together programme. We are delighted that we have achieved gold status with all the work we have done, and continue to do.

A message from Anti-Bullying Alliance:

“Thanks for all the work you’ve done on the All Together programme. I’m very happy to let you know that you’ve done a great job of demonstrating your work to reduce bullying and we’re awarding you All Together School GOLD status for 2018.”

A big thank you to all our peer mentors for helping us to gain this status!

Notice – Lift fault in Cartwright building

We have had a fault with the lift in our Cartwright building this morning which has caused the fire service to attend site.

Please be assured that the site is safe and no-one is at risk. Classes have been re-roomed until we are able to access the building again which we hope will be at some point later this morning.

There is no fire, no injuries and nothing to be concerned about.
