Changes to Form Tutors
As from Monday 4th March 2019 there will no longer be an emergency dinner account for pupils at lunchtime if they do not have lunch provided by parents. The emergency dinner account currently costs the school over £1,000 a year. After half term if any pupils forget their money or packed lunch they will then be able to go to their Pastoral Support Mentor for a cereal bar if parents aren't able to bring something in.
Private Bus Update
Strafford’s have informed the school that from Wednesday 13th February, pupils who are normally collected from the bus stop at Bryn Hedd will now be collected from Price coaches’ depot, mornings only at 8.25. They will be dropped off after school at the usual stop of Bryn Hedd. Strafford’s, the company running the service is remaining the same. All other stops will remain the same. Please contact the school if you require further information.
School Update - Weather
Please presume that the school is open unless you read otherwise via our social media pages, YBA website and WCBC school closures site. If in the unlikely event a decision was made to close the school in inclement weather we would inform you as soon as possible, however please understand that such a decision is complex and is dependent on transport running, health and safety around the school site and also the day’s weather forecast.
