IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FROM THE HEAD'S DESK
Year 11 seem to have survived their Mock GCSE exams, this will be a good opportunity to ensure they are up to speed with their academic progress.
Many thanks to the Year 9 pupils who led the assembly on World Aids and as said ignorance, not kissing, spreads the disease.
Congratulations to the Senior Rugby Squad who on Wednesday won both the 1st XV and 2nd XV Super Six league titles, two outstanding performances. Well done also to the Geography Quiz teams who came 4th and 5th out of eleven in their competition.
I hope to see as many as possible on the streets of Maidenhead Town Centre tomorrow as we perform music and drama in the Art on the Street Festival.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows. Ralph Marston
