We are really pleased to advise that our new catering marquee is now in place at the front of Reception. Additional seating is now available and the catering areas are detailed below together with a list of what can be purchased in each area. Well done to AiP staff and our students for their patience over these past few months.

WCC have advised that there will be roadworks/2 way traffic lights outside the school from Thursday 7 December to Monday 11 December 2023. Please be aware that this may cause delays and you may wish to add some extra time to your journeys or use alternative routes if possible.

Please see below link to a consultation from The Rt Hon Gillian Keegan MP, Secretary of State for Education. This consultation invites parents, students and staff to give their views on minimum service levels and features the following two options:

• The first option focuses on prioritising attendance for vulnerable children and young people; exam groups; and children of critical workers.
• The second option focuses on prioritising all pupils in primary school, and priority cohorts in secondary and Further Education settings.
• The consultation also seeks to gather evidence on the impacts of strike action in higher education, and the case for minimum service levels covering this sector.

This consultation will be open for 9 weeks from 28 November 2023 – 30 January 2024.
