Dear Parents and Carers,

A reminder to all parents that school is closed for students tomorrow and Monday due to Staff Training; and next Friday. Staff will be working on two particular areas: preparation for the new Year 7 curriculum next year and a particular area that we are keen to develop further – how Form Tutors can help support students during their time at QK.

An additional reminder about the dates for September – all new Year 7, 10, 12 and 13 students return to school on Monday 6th September.

Appointment Cards for Progress Review and Target Setting meetings on Tuesday 7th September will be posted home next week. Attendance to this meeting is compulsory for all students and parents.

Lessons then begin at 8.50am on Wednesday 9th September for all students except Y12 and Y13 who will have one double lesson for each course they are studying and several sessions which focus on how best to succeed at KS5.

Can I draw your attention to the suggestions about reading later in the QK News and emphasise the point that all parents should be encouraging their child to read each day during the holiday. I am certainly looking forward to having some time over the holiday where I can read some great books!

Jo Shuter, CBE
Headteacher
