Dear Parents/Carers,
Thank you so much for helping your child to fill in their options form. We have had a fantastic response. If you haven’t already done so, would you mind ticking the parental consent box, which is near the bottom of the form? Here’s how to do it:
  1. Register for SIMS, using the invitation that was sent to you by email last night
  2. Once you’ve successfully registered, go to www.sims-options.co.uk and log in
  3. You will see your child’s options form
  4. Check that you are happy with the choices that have been made AND the priority order in which they appear
  5. If you are happy, tick the ‘parental consent’ box near the bottom of the form.
  6. Click ‘Save’ near the top left corner of the form

And that’s it!

If you have any problems with this, please don’t worry. We will contact you in other ways to get your consent.
Mr Langley

Dear all,

We want to say a huge well done for all of the effort and hard work put in by our learners this term. We are so very proud of them all. We understand this term has been difficult, but we thought it would be be nice to share some of the work and activities that we have seen from our learners.

Please do take a watch of the following updates before you start your half term holiday. We hope they make you smile as much as we did.

Mrs Ashton would like to send you a well done message
