Attendance
Regular attendance at school is important for your child’s mental health, wellbeing and attainment. Therefore, please ensure you child attends school every day when they are able to do so. We do not authorise holidays during term time. If you wish to discuss your child’s attendance, please contact their Head of Year.
All absences should be reported to the school on the morning of each day of absence before 9.15am and provide a valid reason for absence either by:
1.Email – info@grango.co.uk
2. Telephone – 01978 833010
3. Free text – 07908670242
Failure to report your child’s absence from school creates a safeguarding issue
GCSE Exams and Revision
GCSE exams will finish this week, with the last scheduled exam on Wednesday June 18th. If anyone is unsure if they have remaining exams, please get in touch.
Online Workshop
Year 8 students will be taking part in a survey during tutor time and then an online workshop looking at education around ‘Online Misogyny’. The survey will be completed today and the workshop will take place on Monday June 16th.
Football Boots Needed
The PE department are in desperate need of football boots for the department. If you have any that your child has outgrown or that you no longer use, please consider donating them for students to use in their PE lessons. We can only use boots with moulded studs on our 3G pitch and are particularly looking for size 4 and above.
Donations can be brought to the front office, or handed to a member of the PE department.
Wellbeing Equipment Plea
Can you support wellbeing sessions in school?
We are looking for sports equipment such as: boxing gear, yoga mats, weighted balls, skipping ropes, resistance bands, sports bottles, etc. to help deliver wellbeing sessions to young people. If you can help, please bring donations to the school office
Local Theatre
The annual theatre production of local youth theatre group Theatr yr Ifanc will be performed at The Stiwt in July. Several of our Grango students will be part of this production of The Addams Family on July 3rd, 4th and 5th. Tickets are on sale from The Stiwt box office or online https://stiwt.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/873671178
Brilliant Books
Each week we recommend a ‘Brilliant Book’ for students. These books will always be aimed at young people and are available in the school Library. Our recommendation this week is ‘Witch Crag’ by Kate Cann. Kita must make a choice: survive in a life she will hate, or run away and possibly die. She’s willing to risk death but there’s more to it, and soon she will find herself fighting for the very enemy she is trying to escape.
Film Club
This week in Film Club we will be watching ‘Moana 2’ (PG) 3.10 – 4.45pm in the Library.
All students are welcome to attend but please make sure you let someone know if you are staying behind after school. For those who are new to Film Club, please fill out the form below to give permission for your child to attend.
