The friends of bourne
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we approach the final few weeks of term, we are delighted that most students are staying focused on their learning both in and out of class.
Year 11 start their mocks on Monday for 8 days and we wish them a successful exam session; the Drama and Music Teams are preparing for an end of term show and we are looking forward to seeing our First Virtual Christmas show.
As we hear about the spread of COVID across other secondary schools, and the drop in attendance nationally, I would like to ask for your support on the following:
- That your child has a clean mask every day and a plastic bag to put it into when they are not using it. We have noticed that some students are coming in with either dirty masks or disposable masks that they have been wearing for days or even longer.
- All students on public transport must wear a mask
- All students have the correct uniform and a warm waterproof coat for the winter as the days get colder
- Mobile phones are beginning to cause some social issues which are being brought into school which need to be avoided. Please do contact the tutor/ Year managers if you are aware of issues so we can ensure they do not disrupt valuable learning time during the school day
We are doing everything in school to protect both staff and students and so appreciate that these times are challenging and we would like to thank you for your support to ensure we can continue safely for all students and staff.
Kind regards,
Yvonne Watkins
