Three Peaks Challenge
Three of our Year 12 students, Hugo, Olly and Joe are completing the Three Peaks Challenge (climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 24 hours) to raise money for the Kissing it Better charity. Here is the link to their Just Giving page if you would like to make a donation.
Year 11 prom plea
Due to the extreme heat (34°C+ at the venue), we had to make the incredibly difficult decision to reschedule our Year 11 prom this week to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students.
As you can imagine, this has left many of our amazing Year 11 students feeling disappointed – they have been looking forward to this milestone for so long.
We are now working hard to make the rescheduled prom on Wednesday 1 July even more special – and this is where our wonderful community comes in.
Water safety
As the hot weather conitnues, we remind students of the danger of swimming in open water.
The river in St Nicholas Park is particularly popular with young people for swimming and jumping off the bridge.
Please could you discuss the danger of swimming in open water with your young person, and highlight the risks involved in this activity, which include:
- The shock of cold water can make swimming difficult and increase the difficulty in getting out of the water
- Lack of safety equipment and increased difficulty for rescue
- The height of the fall or jump if tombstoning
- The depth of the water – this changes and is unpredictable
- Underwater objects and hazards may not be visible
- Obstacles or other people in the water
- Strong currents can rapidly sweep people away
- Uneven banks and riverbeds
- Water quality, e.g. toxic algae blooms and industrial/agricultural pollution

You may want to watch this video and share it with your young person. The video can be found here. You will be asked to complete some details before watching, including our school’s details (Myton Road, CV34 6PJ) and an email address (you can use the email address [email protected] rather than you own).
