Last Day of Term – Thursday 19 December

Reminder of the arrangements for the last day of term below:

Briefing:  Staff goodbyes

8.30-9.00: Tutor time/assembly

9.00-9.50:  Period 1

9.50-10.50:  Period 2

10.50-11.15:  Extended break

11.15-12.00:  Tutor time

12.00:  Students leave

Staff are free to leave as soon as all students are safely off the school site.

Following the Christmas break, there will be a small change to the time window for calling in same day absences. Calls will need to be made between 6.45am and 7.15am instead of 7am – 7.30am. This change is to allow us to have a clear picture of cover needs slightly earlier in the morning and, if necessary, be able to make arrangements for external agency staff to be secured and in the building on time.

Absence telephone number: 07958 428550

Reminder that calls to the absence line should be made during this window only and calls shouldn’t be made at all hours of the night, in order to protect the work-life balance of all staff.

If you need to leave a message as the line is busy, please state your full  name clearly and the reason for absence.  Unless you are covered by a fit note, school should be informed on a daily basis of any absence between the new time window of 6.45 and 7.15am.  If your absence is covered by a fit note then please email this through to Lindsay.

Please do not park on the car verges, or outside of the allocated parking spaces.  Cars parked outside of the spaces cause issues for deliveries and for people leaving the site; any cars parked this way will be asked to move to the bottom car park.

Staffing Update

Chris Langstaff – Marketing and Communications Lead – has been granted a sabbatical for the third half term of the academic year.  He is travelling to Vietnam – rumour has it that he may bump into former NHTS Headteacher whilst he is there!  Plans to cover the breadth of Chris’ role are in place and will be communicated in due course.

If there is anything you need specifically from him in preparation for next half term, please let him know asap.

I’m sure he’ll have a fantastic time.
