St Laurence School

An opportunity for Year 11 students to secure a place on the senior ski trip has arisen. A limited number of places have become available for the Senior Ski trip in February half term (15th February – 23rd February 2020)

This is usually a 6th form trip, however due to some students no longer being at St Laurence, and having the ability to increase capacity in the hotel, 12 places are now available and we are opening up this opportunity to Year 11. We understand this is very late in the day, but do not want to pass up the chance of offering additional students the ability to go.

Please see the introductory letter attached and if you would like any more information, please contact Mr Taylor at bentay@st-laurence.com

There is a parents meeting on Wednesday 2nd October in Trinity Hall to launch Bronze DofE to Year 9. Space is limited in Trinity Hall, so this meeting is for parents only.

Due to setting-up of the Year 6 Open Evening on 25th September, Homework Club will be cancelled this Wednesday. Apologies for any inconvenience.
