School Prayer
Lord, help us to become the people You
want us to be.
In our school may there be prayer, learning
and humour; hard work, faith and
friendship.
May we respect everyone we meet; use our
gifts and encourage each other.
Send Your angels to guide us, and let Your
peace be with us and our families always.
We ask all these things through Christ our
Lord, Amen.

How we can work as a
partnership to monitor your
child’s progress
 We
have a commitment to
ensure that each and every
child achieves their potential.
 To
do this we need to be
constantly aware of the
progress of every student.
Each Half Term the students receive a
score in each subject.
 These scores are then reported to
Parents
Students
Tutors
Heads of Year
Curriculum Leaders
