All students are now very much into the rhythm of this term and as part of this, it’s good to see many boys taking the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular clubs, before and after school. Please note that in the case of late pickup after an afternoon club, boys will be sent to CommunityOSH for safe supervision. Can I please encourage all parents to register their sons for the school’s CommunityOSH in case your son needs to access the facility in unforeseen circumstances? Click here.

In place of our normal parent workshops, when teachers present information about some of our key learning strategies, we will be providing some videos that parents can access in their own time. The first two of these are about how we approach literacy development at Wyvern via ‘THRASS’ and ‘Big Write’, click here. Further videos will be coming out in due course.

A reminder that the bus zone is not to be used by parents for either dropping off or picking up your sons at the designated times.

Can I request that if you wish to celebrate your son’s birthday at school by sharing a special treat with the class, only one item should be sent into school, e.g. small cupcakes and no party bags.

Finally, a reminder that next weekend is the Newington Long Weekend with the college being closed on Monday 15 March.
