Good morning! We have been busy inspecting and gritting the site this morning, and we are open as usual. We do recommend that those students who would usually enter the site via the MC gate enter the site through alternative gates as that path can be particularly icy. We have gritted the path, but for extra caution please consider using the main gate or CS gate. Please proceed with caution in all areas.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all our families a very Happy New Year. We hope students have enjoyed a restful and enjoyable break, and we look forward to welcoming them back to College tomorrow at the usual time. Due to the current cold and icy conditions, we ask that students allow extra time for their journeys into College, as roads and paths may be slippery and alternative routes may be needed. Although the College site will be gritted this evening and aga

Dear parents and carers, As the festive season approaches, we know that everyone is ready for a well deserved break and some time with loved ones. As much as there can be joy and happiness this time of year, there can also be challenges and things that can pose a risk to safety. 1. Online safety Lots of children may be lucky enough to have new phones, tablet or computers for Christmas, and for others they may have some more time on their hands where they are using their phone

What a fantastic last day of term - with festive jumpers, Christmas dinners, the Golden Ticket prize draw, and ending the day sending all students off with well wishes and a little sweet treat. A massive thank you and well done to all the students who have been exceptional this term.

The secret is finally out! Our very own Jake G features in a new Netflix docuseries, 'The Next Act'. In it, Simon Cowell (yes, THE Simon Cowell) tries to find the next big boy band. We won't spoil it for you, you'll have to watch and find out Jake gets on, but we are SO proud of everything Jake has achieved. It's amazing to see one of our incredibly talented students follow their dreams.

Well done to you all. Year 7: Emily G, Aimie C Year 8: Junior E, James S Year 9: Noah R, Olivia W Year 10: Lacie H, Ava B Year 11: Elise P, Faith C Sixth Form: Savannah T, Dante P.

On Thursday, we invite all students to wear a festive jumper. This can be a Christmas design, or a red and/or green jumper. Jumpers can be worn instead of a blazer. We will be collecting for the Save the Children charity and suggest a voluntary donation of £1 if you are able to. This can be done on ParentPay. We look forward to seeing any festive jumpers on Thursday!

Good afternoon parents and carers, This week, the school has had a visit from the child centred policing team, and year 9 children have had an assembly all around online safety, social media and mental health, and strategies and tips to support safe online usage. There will be more assemblies next week to support childrens understanding of online safety also. There are many positive aspects of internet usage, social connection, technological literacy, access to information an

Attendance Elves are carrying out a prize draw every day for a festive sweet treat for one student in each year group and have loved popping into classrooms to deliver these during P5. Well done to all our winners so far. With 7 days left, will tomorrow be your day? All you have to do is be in College to be in with a chance. As an extra special bonus, all of the students with 100% attendance for the 14 school days in December will receive an Attendance Golden Ticket for the g

Year 7: Dempsey C, Jacob D Year 8: Ellie L, Noah S Year 9: Amelia H, Maddy R Year 10: Daisy B, Christina D Y

Last week, RS students in Years 7 and 9 were lucky enough to hear a talk from guest speaker, Jonathon Marshall, from Plymouth Centre for Faiths and Cultural Diversity, entitled: ‘Exploring diversity, unity, and wisdom.’ Jonathon introduced students to key historical figures who had endured ‘the worst of humanity’ but persevered for the ‘best in humanity.’ Students were encouraged to consider how they might go about making a difference in the world by encouraging unity and cha

Starting today, we will be marking each of the final 14 school days of term with recognitions and encouragement to celebrate excellent attendance. Here is how you can take part by coming to school: • Daily Recognitions – Each day you attend in December, you will be entered into a prize draw for sweet treats. • Grand Prize Draw – All students who achieve 100% attendance for all 14 days of December will earn an Attendance Golden Ticket for the Golden Ticket draw on the final da

Dear Parents and carers, E-Scooters E-scooters have become increasingly popular amongst young people. Although they can seen as a convenient means of transport, there are multiple safety and legal implications that also apply, and it is important that they are not used as a way to travel to school. The law on E-scooters: E- scooters can be ridden on privately owned land. It is illegal to ride an E-scooter on a pavement or public road. If a young person is caught riding an E-s

As shared previously, and is a common query we receive, it is recommended that Year 11 students complete approximately 2 hours of additional schoolwork past 3:05pm each day (that includes period 6). To support your child’s revision, we will be putting on additional revision opportunities for your child after the school day. These will include general revision sessions as well as taught sessions which will target specific areas identified from the recent mocks. Whilst the tau

Dear Parents and carers, This week in school the children have had assemblies and discussions with regards to social media. Studies have found that the average screen time for 11-18 year old is between 7.5- 9 hours daily, and with this there can be both positives, but also risks that can affect young people. Supporting young people through developing their skills in an online world can be challenging, and it is hoped this bulletin can offer guidance and spark conversations at

Well done to you all for being exceptional. Such a wide range of nomination reasons too – ranging from Photography outside of school, to 100% attendance; from outstanding work experience during half term, to doing a sterling job in Speaking and Listening; from multiple Star of the Lesson awards, to supporting a Library Project in school and to Ruby and Lennon for their remarkable involvement in the Remembrance this year honouring their dad.

U14 Boys Badminton Our Round 1 of the U14 Plymouth Schools combined our Devon county player with debutants to school sport. We had competitive games throughout, with experienced and beginner players combining well as took on Stoke then TBH.
