Christmas Holiday Information

Posted on by

We are fast approaching the end of term. Same as last year the school will be closing early at 12.20pm on Friday 22nd December, to allow students and their families a little extra time together to prepare for Christmas, enjoy a different routine on a Friday afternoon and as a reward for all their hard work. However, I am keen to stress that I do not expect to see a dip in attendance just because it is a shortened day. Students are expected to attend school and lessons as normal.

 

The school has made all the necessary arrangements for school buses/taxis to be at school early to transport students home. Students are welcome to join in the Christmas spirit by accessorising their school uniform by adding a little bit of tinsel on Friday the 22nd December. If students wish to participate then a small donation is welcomed which will be donated to a local charity.

School re-opens for new term:

The school re-opens for students on Tuesday 9th January. The 8th January 2018 is a training day for all staff. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the students and parents of Prestatyn High School for all their support this year. My first full year as headteacher at Prestatyn High School has been hugely successful and we, as a school, are making excellent progress to achieve the best outcomes for all our young people as was demonstrated in the summer’s exam results. Together, we will transform PHS into the best school in Denbighshire.

Blood Brothers 28th Nov – 1st Dec 2017

Posted on by

Blood Brothers, a play by Liverpudlian playwright Willy Russell, revolves around twin boys (Mickey and Edward) who are separated at birth and brought up in completely different environments in the city. The play, set in the 1960s.

Mickey is brought up with his seven older siblings by his struggling single mother, Mrs Johnstone. His twin brother, Edward, however is brought up as the only child of the wealthy Lyons family, who live nearby, after Mrs Lyons persuaded Mrs Johnstone to hand over one of her twins at birth. Mickey and Edward don’t meet each other until they’re seven years old, but immediately become best friends and blood brothers. The bond continues when the boys are teenagers and both live in the countryside, despite them both being in love with Mickey’s neighbour Linda. However, as they get older, the huge difference in their backgrounds pulls them apart and eventually leads to their tragic deaths.

Written during a period of huge changes in society and politics, Blood Brothers draws the audience’s attention to the detrimental effect that social inequality can have on people’s lives.
