An adult must then collect the phone from reception. Reception is open from 8.15am-4.15pm. If a pupil persistently attempts to use their phone in school, parents and carers will be contacted and pupils will be required to hand their phone in at reception each morning.

Two of our pupils were very lucky to take part in this amazing event: The Snowman with the Orchestra of St John. Here is a write up by Erin Rooney, who alongside with Beth Mudge enjoyed taking part: “On Saturday 30th of November I sang two songs with the Mount Carmel choir and the Orchestra of St Johns Church. We sang ‘We’re Walking in the Air’ and ‘Little Drummer Boy’. We sang in two part harmony for the Snowman. I felt really happy and proud of myself and Beth. It was a nice way to start Advent , it was really fun.”

Mrs Vale Some of you may be aware that Mrs Vale, our Assistant Principal, was involved in a serious accident just before half term. She’s currently in Birmingham Hospital progressing well, after serious injuries. We are hopeful, along with the family, that she will make good progress on her long road to recovery. The family had previously asked us not to make a public statement as Mrs Vale’s condition was not stable. You will have seen that our Festive Wear Day monies will be going towards the Midlands Air Ambulance – this is at the request of the Vale family. Please donate via ParentPay.

To help support positive mental health in school, and in light of the dark mornings and early dark nights, we have decided to put in place five SAD (seasonal affective disorder) afternoons to allow pupils and staff to experience more sunlight. These will take place on days school feel appropriate and when the sun is shining, and will consist of a 15 minute break between Lesson 4 and Lesson 5. Our first afternoon will take place today!

On Tuesday the Year 8 boys started their basketball campaign by joining up with local high schools to compete in the Year 8/9 District League. On the night the boys played matches against Arrow Vale, Trinity and Bromsgrove school, all of which were Year 9 teams! Our boys started off tentatively but really got stuck into the later stages of the game and did themselves proud! They lost all of their games, however, but managed to score at least 2 baskets in every game and were able to be very competitive. Basketball for these lads this year looks very promising! Well done to Jacob, Gero, Joe, Dhanish, Oliver, George, Alvin and Oliver for their efforts!
