Dear Parents Welcome
back to all returning families and a very warm welcome to all new families
joining us this academic year. It has been an excellent start to the year.
With the registration of some 22 new students this term, we now have in
excess of 130 students in the school, the most that we have had in the
school’s history. We are anticipating more registrations for next term
because this is when A Levels will be starting. New
Staff Members I
would like to extend a warm welcome to the following new staff members who
have joined this school this term: In
June we had a number of Year 11 students sit their IGCSE examinations in
Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin. Once again we achieved outstanding results
with all students scoring A and A* passes. Congratulations to all of these
students and their teachers for a set of excellent results.

contact teachers if there is a problem and how you can help with your
children’s education. After
the main meeting, there will be a short talk for parents of the Year 11
students who will be taking their IGCSE’s this November. We hope you

The
school has printed its own homework diaries for students in Year 2 – 5 as
well in the Secondary department. Please ensure that you check these each day
so that you are aware of what homework your child has and any messages that
may be written in them from the teacher. Uniform
for Secondary Students The
tailor will be in school next Tuesday 17 September to take measurements of new
students. Please decide and inform your child how many will be require and
provide the correct amount payable. Primary
Department Reading Folders All
new students in Reception to Year 3 will be given a blue canvas reading folder
to carry their home readers in. Please check that your child takes this home
each afternoon and returns it to school the following morning. All students
who were in the school last year are expected to use the reading folder that
they were given last year. If you have lost it then you can purchase these
from the office. School
Hat Policy It is compulsory for all students to wear a school cap at break times and during PE lessons. Please ensure that your child has one. These can be purchased in the school office. Parent

to help with class swimming lessons. If you are willing to help, please speak
