I have been so proud of our students over the last two weeks. Whilst not the start of term that any of envisaged, they have shown their commitment to their studies and have wholeheartedly engaged with our remote learning. The normal timetable has continued with lessons running live throughout the day. Students have been brilliant at adapting to the new expectations and have enjoyed seeing and interacting with their teachers, even if it is on the small screen.

This week, on Tuesday, we continue with our Year 11 Parents’ Evening as planned. This will be a remote connection, but we hope that doing so with support Year 11 students at this strange time in their education, importantly thinking not just about this stage, but also the next step.

Applications continue to be open for our Sixth Form for September 2021. We will be holding interviews as planned later this term. For any information with regard to our post-16 offer please visit our website at https://www.kesgrave.suffolk.sch.uk/sixth-form/ . If you have any enquiries, whether you are currently a student with us, or thinking of joining us from elsewhere, please do get in touch by calling or emailing 6thformoffice@kesgrave.suffolk.sch.uk us.

Our thoughts go out to any of you with loved ones affected by COVID-19. We know what pressure the local health service is under (and how many of our parents and carers are in this employment) and we thank every one of our local community for all their hard work at this time. Every one of us makes a contribution through our diligent and careful approach at this time. We protect each other and the NHS. Thank you.
