School Shoes
When purchasing new school shoes for your child over the summer, please can you take care to make sure
they adhere to our uniform policy.

We have communicated this on numerous occasions to both students and parents and will therefore be
reinforcing this immediately when we return from the break.

Shoes that do not meet our expectations will not be accepted regardless of how new they are.

Please c​ lick here​ to see some examples of acceptable and unacceptable shoes according to our policy.

Personal Development Time​This week, we have been discussing the very serious issue of knife crime
across the UK with our students. Knife crime refers to carrying and using knives. As you have probably seen
in the news, this is an issue that greatly affects young people across the country and particularly in city areas.
Children as young as nine have been caught carrying knives in the UK. This makes it an important issue for
schools to educate children and young people about, so that they can help keep themselves and others safe
from harm.

The Personal Development Time materials were created by Votes for Schools. More information is included
below:

In this PDT lesson, your son/daughter explored the issue of knife crime; what makes young people choose to
carry knives and what solutions could be/are being offered to reduce the number of youths carrying knives in
the UK. Your son/daughter will be signposted to places where they can go should they need more information
or someone to talk to. It is likely that after the lesson, your son/daughter may want to talk to you about knife
crime at home.

If you would like further information on protecting young people from knife crime, please consider looking at
the guidance below:

● CrimeStoppers has information on knife crime and a link for reporting crime anonymously:
https://crimestoppers-uk.org/keeping-safe/community-family/knife-crime

● #knifefree has advice if you’re worried about a young person carrying a knife
https://www.knifefree.co.uk/worried-young-person/

● If you are worried about a child, you can call the NSPCC’s professional counsellors 24/7 for help,
advice or support on: 0808 800 5000

Please do contact Rob Wakeling, Assistant Headteacher, if you have any questions.
