Happy New Year!

At the start of another academic year, there is so much for us to look forward to. We are very pleased with the results which were published in August and are now working hard to ensure we improve on these still further this year.

Over the past few months we have invested heavily in ensuring that our pupils and staff have access to the technology that will enable us to provide the outstanding learning opportunities which we aspire to. We are all really excited about the fact that pupils and staff will now have access to iPads and a whole school wireless network and know this will make a real impact on learning.

What is important is the fact that we recognise that these developments will only make the desired impact if they are used as a tool alongside the many other learning and teaching strategies which we have in place. Used effectively, they will make a huge impact - but not on their own.

Our year 13 pupils will be the first year group to have 1:1 access to iPads throughout the school day. It will be very interesting to see the impact this will make on their learning and how they will quite quickly become 'digital leaders' for the rest of the school.

This year promises so much already!
