Dear Parents/Carers

As we approach the end of Ramadan, we are aware that Eid ul Fitr will fall on Friday the 20th March. We wanted to share our plans for the day with you. We are planning to ask year 10, 12 and 13 to remain at home as we will have a number of staff celebrating Eid. We will be open for year 7,8,9 and 11. We will start the day at 8.37am as usual, but will finish at 1.30pm. The canteen will be open first break for all students.

If you are celebrating Eid, there is no need to report your child’s absence. However if your child is off for anything else, please use the normal procedure.

Please keep an eye on our website for updates.

World Book Day 2026 was an absolutely magical celebration of stories, creativity, and imagination across our school community!

It was a day full of fun, imagination, and shared joy—and a brilliant reminder of the power of books to bring us together. We can’t wait for next year’s celebration
