Induction Chronicle

Our Coaching Chronicle is a document read by all pupils and staff, and is one of the ways that we share key notices and highlight events taking place in school.

We have put together an Induction Chronicle for our new Year 7 pupils, which is a great resource for you to learn more about our school.
