Christmas Concert 2024
Wednesday 4th December, saw the annual Christmas Concert by the Music Department after another term packed with weekly rehearsals from all ensembles, culminating in a brilliant display of musical talent. We invited all ensembles to perform, right the way through from our beginner brass group to our more seasoned ensembles, like the Senior Choir, Symphony Orchestra and Improv Group. There was such an array of musicality on stage, and it was clear that all the students thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the night - well done to everyone who performed, and a special thank you to everyone who was involved in the planning and running of the night. Have a listen to a few minutes of highlights here!
 
If you missed this display of Christmas joy then not to worry as ‘Carols by Candlelight’ is on the 19th December at St John’s Church. Come along for some mulled wine, a mince pie and some carols all within a festive setting. Tickets online at https://www.trybooking.com/uk/ECHR.

 Imogen's beautiful and vibrant design truly stood out to the judges. The card is significant, as it was sent to all the important individuals in the borough connected to the school. A special pack of cards was prepared for her to take home.
Imogen's design will also be featured in the school magazine, and she has also won some great points for Wellman House!
 A fantastic effort!

Important Information from the Attendance Office
Punctuality
Dear Parent/Carer,
The Attendance Office would like to clarify that being late for school due to traffic in the surrounding area is not classed as an 'exceptional circumstance'. The Attendance Officers will closely monitor local issues and if there is an exceptional incident, resulting in a high volume of students being late for school, we will make reasonable adjustments on these occasions.
Students are advised to be in school at 8:15am every day to ensure they have sufficient time to go to their lockers/bathroom etc.
Students attending clubs before school must still ensure they register at 8:30am. Arrival after 8:30am is considered to be late.
Should your child be late for a genuinely exceptional reason, please email the Attendance Officers and explain these circumstances.
