Step into the Spotlight – Mon 16th July

On Monday 16th July at 6pm in the School Hall the Year 12 Drama pupils will be hosting Step into the Spotlight which is a celebration of all aspects of the Performing Arts over the years.

We have past pupils such Jordan King, Orlagh Zurawski, Shauna Birch and Deedee P.Graham returning to perform songs/scenes from Grease, Little Shop of Horrors and Westside Story. We will also be looking to the future with new faces taking to the stage and maybe a sneaky peek at the next production, High School Musical. I am sure at some point there will be a Greatest Showman medley.

Tickets are £2 per person or buy 4 tickets and get two free. They will be available on the door which will open at 5.45pm on Monday 16th July.

Y8 Parents’ Evening – 15th May

Dear parents/carers

Year 8 Parents’ Evening – Tuesday 15th May – 4.00 to 6.30pm

I very much hope you will be able to attend, as it is a valuable opportunity for us to discuss how your child is progressing at Prestatyn High.

In order to reduce queuing, an appointment system will operate for each separate teacher. Your child has been given a sheet listing their teachers’ names, with a space alongside for appointment times to be noted. Please discuss with your son/daughter, which teachers you wish to see, so your child can book appointment slots with those teachers.

Should any teacher specifically wish to see you on Parents’ Evening, they will also make an appointment on the sheet. Please make every effort to see those teachers, in particular. Please ensure your child sees their teachers as soon as possible, as the appointment slots will be filled very quickly.

May I take this opportunity to thank you for your support in this process. We are aiming to ensure that as many parents as possible are seen during Parents’ Evening. If you have any questions about this or other aspects of school life, please contact you son/daughter’s Head of Year.

Finally, whilst I accept that parking provision at the school is limited; in view of recent complaints, can I please ask that you do not park your vehicles:
a) across local residents’ driveways
b) in the disabled spaces adjacent to the leisure centre; which are reserved specifically for their disabled customers.

If you have any specific enquiries please contact your son’s/daughter’s Head of Year.

Uniform Launch Night 24th April

Prestatyn High School – New Uniform Launch Event April 2018

Dear Parent \ Guardian

I would like to invite all parents to the official new school uniform launch. After several months of consultation and design, the official new uniform for Prestatyn High is ready to be displayed. The launch evening will be on the 24th April at 6.30 pm until 7.30 pm. The evening will include a presentation by the head teacher and chair of the Uniform Committee, followed by the unveiling of the new uniform. The uniform local suppliers will also be present to inform all parents about the cost and ways to purchase the garments. The uniform suppliers were part of the working party and they have helped produce a top quality uniform at a very affordable price.

The governing body have given a commitment to help reduce the cost of the uniform for Year 11 pupils, as they will only be expected to wear the uniform for one year. In order to further support families, the Governing Body have also agreed that financial support would be available for children that are in receipt of Free School Meals as at May 1st 2018. Parents with multiple pupils at the school will also receive financial support if required. During the evening, the Chair of governors will provide information about how the school will contribute to the above. If any parents have issues surrounding the cost of the uniform not listed above, the school will assist on a case by case basis. The governors want to do everything possible to make sure all families will be able to afford the new uniform.

Unfortunately due to supply, cost and timing problems, there will not be an alternative uniform for consideration.
The Uniform working party unanimously agreed to select the uniform you will see tonight as the official uniform for Prestatyn High School.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of our school community who took part in the consultation process which helped guide the design and ultimate outcome.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Uniform Working Party for their hard work and effort on this project.

Assemblies for all pupils will take place after the launch evening to share this information.
Any other questions will be addressed at this meeting.
