Today (Friday 4th March) we were visited by ITV Central who contacted the school having heard about the collection of items for Ukraine that has been taking place all week. The school community has donated the equivalent to over 300 ‘bags for life’ with donations including, clothes, blankets, sleeping bags, toiletries, nappies, baby milk and medical supplies.
The push on donations was started on Monday by a Year 11 student Molly who has family living in western Ukraine, she approached Mr Cuomo and Mr Sheehan and the within two hours students and the wider community had been made aware of what donations they could bring in and leave in the chapel. To see the chapel full of donations by the start of school was a truly humbling moment – the donations were then transported to Doncaster by Mr Sheehan who dropped them off at his church, with the donations going onwards to a lorry heading for Warsaw. On Wednesday morning even more had been donated and again the chapel was full, with the help of a number of 6th Form Students, again Mr Sheehan loaded his car and headed to the drop off point in Doncaster. That lorry has now set off on its journey to Warsaw with our first two days’ worth of donations safely onboard.
Even more donations have come in on Thursday and Friday and it is these that can be seen in the ITV news footage and in the images below.
The students who were interviewed by ITV including Molly spoke so passionately about not being able to stand by and watch the humanitarian disaster unfold and that they had to do something and that is why they have continued to bring in their donations.
We were also joined by the Mayor of Mansfield Andy Abrahams, who praised the efforts of our students in responding to the needs of those people in Ukraine and those seeking refuge in Poland.
Well done to everyone who entered our Reading Rocks competition. There were some wonderful designs.
Our third-place winner is Nicole P in Year 8 with her wonderful Paddington Bear.
In second place we have Gandalf by Lewis W in Year 7. Well done Lewis you’ve captured Gandalf perfectly.
Our winner is Maggie C in Year 8 with her absolutely incredible Harry Potter. I’m sure you’ll agree that the attention to detail is amazing! Well done Maggie. Enjoy spending your £10 book token.

Dear Parent/Carer,
The School Aged Immunisation Service (SAIS) will be offering the following vaccinations to all Year 9 students in school on Monday 7 March 2022:
- Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio (also known as the ‘Teenage 3-in-1 Booster’)
- Meningitis
- HPV – 1st or 2nd vaccination.
The deadline for registering your online Consent or Refusal for the Year 9 vaccinations for Tetanus/Diphtheria/Polio + Meningitis + HPV will be activated on Friday 4 March at 1.00 pm. If you have not already registered, please make arrangements to do so as soon as possible to help school formulate a timetable for when students need to attend for their vaccinations.
- If this is your child’s 1st HPV jab, you will need to give consent/refusal online.
- If this is your child’s 2nd HPV jab, the consent for this is already covered from the 1st vaccination and there is no need for you to give consent again.
- If you are unsure whether your child has already received their 1st HPV jab, please contact the School Aged Immunisation directly at email address SAIS@nottshc.nhs.uk to seek confirmation.This vaccination session ONLY applies to students in Year 9. It is important every eligible student has a completed online form which states if you would like them to receive the vaccination or not as this helps the school to formulate a timetable for those students with consent to attend for their vaccination.As the session date is only a matter of days away, we should be grateful if you would register your online consents/refusals as soon as possible by visiting the following link:

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.
This half-term has seen the Year 9 students fundraising for a charity of their choice. Students were asked to take part in a “mobile phone amnesty” in which students were sponsored by friends and family to give up their phone for a weekend.
The students have raised an amazing £985 (although there is still some money coming in) which will be split between “The Sick Children’s Trust” and “Cancer Research UK”.
Several students raised over £20 and have received a “Charity Champion”
certificate.
A massive well done to Miss Merrington’s form (9MMN) who raised £405!
Kind regards,
Mr Hall & The Year 9 Tutors

Dear Parent/Carer,
On Friday 4th February all staff and students are invited to wear something red in support of the work done by the British Heart Foundation.
Students can come into school wearing a red accessory – but they must be in full school uniform (which includes the colour red anyway if you can’t find a red accessory!)
A donation of £1 per student would be appreciated to help support the work of the British Heart Foundation – this can be done via Parent Pay or given to the form tutor.
Thank you for your support.
