Dear all
Another action-packed week at MCS! A practical note to start: we have had 'summer uniform' for several weeks now, where students are not required to wear their blazer at any point during the school day. This includes when moving between lessons. We will now move to students not being required to bring their blazer to school at all for the rest of this term. Please could all students ensure that they have their lesson timetables with them, as they are often kept in a blazer pocket. We will revert to normal school uniform including blazers in September. We are also reviewing the timing and guidance around 'summer uniform' for next academic year. These decisions follow feedback from students, families and staff.
Talking of feedback, a reminder that the parent and carer survey is open and can be found by clicking this link. We welcome your views as part of our feedback and planning. The survey will be open until the end of Thursday next week. We will then write to you again regarding themes and action we will take in response.
Now is also the time of year that we also meet all students to review this year and look forward to next year. This is done via assemblies, now that we are permitted to hold them again. As was the case last year, we will gather student feedback as part of this process in order to inform our planning.
We have also had valuable discussions with students, both at student council and elsewhere, about the new Health and Wellbeing curriculum that launches in September. This curriculum comes with new time on the timetable for it to be delivered by form tutors. Directors of Learning will write to you regarding this curriculum in the new academic year.
Finally, we have welcomed Year 6 students in for their transition days this week. They have had a fantastic time getting to know each other, their teachers, other students and the school building. We are looking forward to them joining our school community in September.
All the best for an enjoyable and sunny weekend.
