End of term arrangements W/C 18.12.2023

Afternoon All,

As we approach the end of the term, we would like to share some information about the last day of term on Wednesday 20.12.2023.

This will be a normal school day with the usual timings (8:30-14:50) however there will be some end of term reward assemblies as part of this day.

Students and staff will be able to wear non-uniform. We will not be asking for a charity financial donation however we will be collecting items for our local food banks for those who would like to donate anything for this. Items that the food banks are requesting are listed below and we will be looking to support food banks in Bingley, Keighley and Bradford. Items can be donated at the bus turnaround or in N6. Links to these food banks and how to access them can be found here: https://bradfordfoodbanks.org.uk/

Please can you ensure that your child is still fully equipped for the day and that they are wearing their school lanyards otherwise their access to catering will be delayed.

For those who are celebrating Christmas, we wish you every happiness and hope that everyone has a safe and restful break. We would like to thank you for your ongoing support and best wishes for the new year.
