Newsletter 9 November 2007
I hope that you all had a lovely half term holiday (yes even the parents), and that you are now rested and ready for the half term ahead.
It was a great pleasure to meet Year 11 parents last Tuesday and we are grateful for the high level of support you give us. It is a fine example of succeeding together for excellence in learning.
Clwyd Theatr Cymru's Theatre for Young People have been in this week. The team of professional actors have been exploring the meaning of key Shakespearian text with our year 9 pupils. Pupils have enjoyed participating in unlocking and exploring Shakespeare in a new, exiting and accessible way. Thank you to all those involved.
We are having a themed non-uniform day next Friday to support Children in Need. More details to follow in this newsletter
