Weekly Update - 31 January 2025 - Calthorpe Park School

We are pleased to announce that work to create a new crossing outside school will start on Monday 10 February. This crossing is being installed for the safety of our students and to reduce congestion on the roads. Planning for this work includes ensuring minimal disruption to road users in the area, so temporary lights will be operational from 9am until 3pm each day. We would suggest that you make alternative arrangements for the drop-off and collection of your child to avoid the inevitable traffic. This work is scheduled to take seven weeks, including one week of the half term break.

Further updates will be provided during the process, and we thank you in advance for your support during this work.

The student-led Panto – Beauty and the Beast – takes place next month, with just a few seats available for one of the four performances. See this link to book seats on Monday 10 February at 4.30pm.

Junior UKMT Club will start from Wed 5th Feb from 3-4pm in X1 for students in year 7 and 8 who like thinking outside the box and problem solving. This helps to prepare for the UKMT competition on 1st May. Students can find out more from their maths teacher or from Mrs Powell. Students are welcome to just come along and see what it is all about. Entries to the competition will be made later this term.

Farnborough 6^th Form College are holding a Year 10 Preview Event on the evening of Wednesday 12 March – please use this link to book places if interested.

As a reminder, students should not contact home during the school day. If unwell, they can attend Medical who will assess, or if other support is required they can go to HQ. This is becoming a safeguarding concern where students are contacting parents directly and leaving site.
