We are proud participants in the Active School Flag initiative. As part of this process, all students and staff fill out a survey each year which gives us invaluables insights into the physical activity patterns and needs of our school community. The research is explained in further detail in the attached letter and, should you wish your daughter not to particpate in the survey, there is a form that you can fill out and return to reception.
Many thanks.
