Head Teacher's Message

Head Teacher

Dear Parents and Carers

Last night, in spite of the terrible weather, we were delighted to welcome such a large number of Year 11 students both from Myton and the surrounding area. We hope the evening provided students and parents with a useful insight into what our sixth form offers students in their progression from post-16 to post-18 education.

We’re grateful to the students from our Sixth Form Senate leadership team and our student subject ambassadors who were on hand to give a flavour of life in the sixth form and highlight their personal experiences of the subjects we have on offer. Through this collaboration we hope we have helped the Year 11 students to make those all-important subject option choices. (more…)

Announcements

Safety in St Nick’s Park

If your child walks or cycles to school through St Nicholas’ Park in Warwick, you will be well aware that there has been flooding this week. Can we please ask you to talk to your child about the importance of avoiding floodwater and river banks. It’s very easy to slip on wet ground and we know that one of our students had a near miss this week. Accidents can happen easily; let’s make sure that our children stay safe.
