A Comment From The Headteacher
Positive Feedback From The Community
We have received much positive feedback from the wider community about how smart our pupils look in their uniforms and the vast majority of pupils tell us that they are proud to wear their House ties and that they feel positive about themselves in their uniform. In this edition of Spotlight you will find definitive guidance about uniform requirements. Should you have any queries or need clarification please do not hesitate to contact the school before purchasing new items.
As I write St Austell is swathed in thick fog - we do hope that this clears before our intrepid Ten Tors Teams set off on this year's challenge at 7.00 am on Saturday. We do wish them success in their venture after their months of hard work and preparation.
A polite reminder that the consultation process for the St Austell Foundation Trust is now open. May I encourage you as key stakeholders to ensure that your opinion is expressed. The relevant papers can be accessed Here...
