Many of you will have noticed the new design of the Queensbury School website which, in addition to staff and student areas, has an area for parents and carers. The “what’s on” section of the front page has made it much easier for everyone to see the key dates that are approaching. September will see the introduction of two new ways to communicate with parents and carers that will help them keep up to date with school events and engage with their child’s learning. These are a text / email service and on-line reporting.

What a fantastic day 14 of our year 9 students had at Doe Park Water Activities Centre on 15th July 2010. Our students took part in a Schools Regatta day which involved competing against 5 other schools in sailing, kayaking and canoeing.
