POWER SUPPLY to SCHOOL
You may well have heard that the electrical supply to the school site has been detrimentally affected during the course of today. We managed to arrange for someone from NPower to visit the site but replacement of the broken part of the circuit may prove to be more difficult than first anticipated.
It is hoped to repair the damaged circuit during the course of Saturday 28th January, but Npower cannot guarantee that this will be ready in time for school to open on Monday.
Obviously, I am very conscious of the health and safety of pupils and staff and will be liaising closely with NPower during the course of Saturday.
I would therefore ask you to check again on Sunday evening for an update on whether the school will be open.
Apologies if this causes any inconvenience, but we will do our utmost to ensure that the school is open if possible.

UNIVERSITY TECHNICAL COLLEGE: CONSULTATION
Baysgarth School is currently exploring the possibility of forming a University Technical College (UTC) with other local providers including North Lincolnshire Council, Humberside Engineering Training Association (HETA) and other local and national businesses.
Further details can be found in the accompanying documents, and there is to be a consultation meeting at the school, in the Learning Resource Centre, at 6pm on Wednesday January 11th to which all interested parties are invited.
There is also an online survey, comprising of 6 short questions, which we would like as many local people as possible to complete as part of the consultation process. The survey can be accessed via the following link: www.surveymonkey.com/s/F3MTHT8.

ATTENDANCE and MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS
We are experiencing a high number of absences from school due to hospital, medical and dental appointments. Consequently, we are asking that parents contact our Student Support Centre on 01652 635904 prior to an appointment, or provide a copy of the appointment card/letter beforehand, in order that the absence can be authorised. Failure to do so may result in the absence being unauthorised.
Naturally, we want pupils to be in school as much as possible, and they are therefore expected to attend school before and/or after their appointment, being absent for the least amount of time possible. If a pupil is absent for the whole day, only an appropriate amount of time will be authorised by the school.
The DfE's Privacy Notice gives details of how personal data about pupils is handled by the school in accordance with the Data Protection Act. Supplementary information is given in the "Privacy Notice - what the DfE does with pupils' data". Both documents are available for download or, alternatively, a copy can be requested from the school.

A Word From Our Headteacher
"We are proud of Baysgarth, its pupils and their achievements. Our A level and GCSE results this summer are our best ever and a credit to the pupils, as well as reflecting the incredible hard work and commitment of the staff in supporting them to do so well. Baysgarth is a successful, local community school, continually striving to enable pupils to fulfil their potential. The school is fortunate to have a dedicated, first class staff, making an excellent team. I hope you enjoy reading the various sections of our website as you find out about the school. We would be delighted to take your family on a tour of the school to show you the excellent behaviour and work of our pupils. I look forward to meeting you in the near future."
