You can collect them from your Personal Tutor or from the School Office. ________________________________________ Weekly Newsletter We send this newsletter to of all our students weekly. It contains information about events, opportunities, competitions and anything else we get asked to pass onto you all. You will probably find it of more direct use in later years (internships, career opportunities etc.) but it will still (hopefully) be interesting in the meantime.
