The Beehive

Edition One – Friday 3rd September 2010

Welcome Back

A very warm welcome back to everyone after what, I hope, has been a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday. May I offer a particular welcome to all our new boys, their parents and the new staff. I trust that the ‘old hands’ will soon make you all feel very much at home and help you to settle quickly into your new environment.

Apology

The school has had a new server installed during the holiday period which has caused some problems. We understand that a number of emails we sent have not been received and a number sent by parents have not been received at school. I apologise for this and hope that all issues are quickly resolved. All appears to be working as normal again now.

GCSE Results

Congratulations to our two Year 8 boys from last year who sat the GCSE Spanish examination. Nicholas Perry achieved an A* and Alfie Frost an A.

Holiday Work

Amongst the many works carried out during the holidays has been the provision of a new Library for the EYFS/KS1 Department. We hope that the boys will enjoy using it.

Parking

As always, at the start of a new year, may I please remind parents that the school car parks are not for parental use, for obvious safety reasons.

May I also ask you to think about our neighbours when arriving and departing from school and ensure that, at no point, driveways are blocked. There were a number of occasions towards the end of June when residents were unable to get in/out of their own homes, which I am sure you will all agree, is not acceptable.
