It’s been all systems go this week, with staff training followed by induction for Year 7 and Year 12, then the return of all students. It is great to welcome everyone back! After all the planning and preparation that goes on in the months prior to a new school year, it really is fantastic to see school life up and running again after the summer break.
Many thanks to all of you for everything you’ve done to ensure your child returned to school ready to learn. Having the right equipment and uniform is a vital part of everyday success at school, and it has been fantastic to see our optimistic, ambitious and well-organised students start their new school year so well. You will recall that we changed uniform supplier recently, resulting in significantly cheaper uniform, and that we changed some policy details such as skirts and PE kit. I am aware that for some parents there have been some delays with delivery, and I apologise for that on behalf of the suppliers. If your child needs any support from us with regards uniform, they can access the Ready To Learn room or speak to their form tutor. We are happy to help.
Finally, I am very sorry to let you know that one of our colleagues in the food hall, Melissa Kitt, passed away unexpectedly just before the start of term. As well as being a superb member of the catering team, Melissa was, of course, a parent at MCS. She was also a great support to MCS Friends in catered events. She was always so positive, kind and welcoming to our students, and she will be much missed by all of us.
All the best for the weekend ahead.
