End of term letter from the Headteacher
January 2010
Dear Parent/Guardian
Arrangements for the Start of the New Term
We are so keen to get back to teaching and learning with our students, despite the severe weather conditions. We look forward to the opening of school.
Mobile Phones and Electrical Devices
Christmas is usually a time when many students receive new electronic devices and phones. Quite naturally, some of them wish their friends to see these new devices. We would hate to confiscate, for four weeks, any brought into school. Please ensure such devices remain at home. If, for safety reasons or in an emergency, your child requires her/his phone for the journey to and from school s/he must hand it in to reception (to be put in our safe) during the day. This prevents loss, damage, theft and inappropriate use.
Uniform
We believe the way our students dress for school tells us how much respect and loyalty they have for Mossley Hollins and how seriously they take the business of learning. To make things much easier for parents/carers and students we can give you advance warning that we will immediately send home to change any student who arrives:
•· in shoes that are not plain black (no trainers or shoes with coloured symbols or marks - please do not buy such footwear for school - this is absolutely non-negotiable);
•· socks that are not either plain black or navy blue (boys), black, white or navy blue (girls)
•· with an extreme hairstyle (hair with sharp cuts of different lengths, lines or patterns, or of extreme, unnatural colours)
•· All jewellery (except a wrist watch) should be removed at home before school.
This is not open to negotiation and we do not want to send one child home to change, so we expect our students to dress absolutely appropriately for the business of learning in our school. We are very appreciative of the fact that the vast majority of our students observe this dress-code wonderfully well.
Yours sincerely,
D. Duncan
