We had a full house at our

evening and it was great to

meet potential new learners

and their parents. As ever the

DC team were fantastic - every

department showcasing what

we are all about! The

feedback we received was

superb. Huge thanks to my

whole team, the learners who

supported and the catering

staff!

Departmental reviews have

continued this week and will be

complete by the end of next

Alliance on the project with the

support of Mr Gardner and

Cllr Burgess - watch this space!

I am looking forward to our Re

start a Heart day next Friday - as

a nurse, Cardiology was my

specialism and I know first-hand

that lives really are saved by the

quick intervention with CPR. We

will have 10 local Doctors and

Paramedics in school for the full

d a y a n d t r a i n i n g w i l l b e

delivered to all year groups.

I hope you all have a wonderful

weekend.
