Regarding Y11 Prom

Posted on by

Dear parent / carer

I am sure your son / daughter is looking forward to the Y11 Prom on the 20th June. This is a
prestigious occasion and a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the end of their GCSE exams with their
friends, year groups, teachers and support staff.

In order to receive a ticket to attend the Prom, we expect the following from our Y11s:

  • To be engaged in after school revision (includes any lunch sessions) and Easter school. A
    register of attendees is taken during all revision sessions.
  • To have good attendance and punctuality. Pupils to be fully engaged in their lessons, ensuring
    homework / past papers are completed.
  • Have a good or improved behaviour record. Any pupil internally and or externally excluded (from
    the week beginning 19th February) will not be permitted to attend our Y11 prom.
  • Demonstrate exemplary behaviour during the exam period and wear the correct uniform at all
    times.
  • To attend all their GCSE examination, including any oral examinations.

All decisions regarding admittance to the prom will be at the discretion of the Headteacher and Head
of Y11, and like all other decisions made at school, individual circumstances will always be
considered.

If your child already knows that they do not wish to attend the Prom, they are still
expected to the meet the high standards required throughout.

Further information regarding the Prom will be shared with parents prior to the Easter break.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish your child all the very best for their final few months left
with us at Prestatyn High School, and I hope they achieve all their goals.
Thank you for your continued support,
Yours faithfully,

Mr. G Turner
Deputy Headteacher

Letter to Parents/Carers

Posted on by

Dear Parents and Carers,
I would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all pupils and parents for their continued
support this half term. We take great pride in the appearance of our pupils, most recently we have allowed pupils to wear their
coats in the school building as they move between lessons, due to the cold temperatures. However, when we return to school after half term we will be expecting all pupils to remove their coats as they enter the building and when they move from lesson to lesson. All pupils will need to be in full uniform including blazers. This will be reviewed if the temperature changes.
Thank you for your support and have a restful half term.
Best wishes,
PJ Hill

Awards Evening

Dear Parent/Carer,

It is with great pleasure that I am writing to inform you that our amazing awards evening is back again on the 9th April, 2024.
The evening will highlight the achievements of our wonderful pupils who work hard day in day out to achieve their potential. Nominations from departments and Heads of Year will take place during the coming half term, so there is plenty of opportunity for your son/daughter to work hard over the next few weeks and be recognised for their achievements.

Awards are handed out for engagement and effort as well as going above and beyond for the school or the community. If you know of a pupil who works above and beyond for the good of the community of Prestatyn, or the wider area and would like to nominate them for the community award we would love to hear from you. Please contact me at the school by the 23rd February 2024.

This event is sure to be one of the highlights of the school year. Tickets will be allocated for those people who have been shortlisted for awards closer to the time and further details will be available then.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs PJ Hill

Barcelona Trip

Posted on by

Dear parent/guardian,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you about an exciting upcoming opportunity for our students to travel to Barcelona from the 11th to the 14th of July. This trip promises to be a truly memorable experience, offering students the chance to deepen their understanding of Spanish culture and language.

 

We have made comprehensive arrangements to ensure the students' safety and comfort throughout the duration of the trip. Our journey will commence with a coach departing from Prestatyn High School, followed by flights from Liverpool. Upon arrival in Barcelona, we will be staying at the Hotel Tossa Beach-Center, which offers excellent accommodations.

 

The itinerary for the trip is packed with exciting and educational activities. Students will have the chance to explore the Gothic Quarter, visit Port Vell, and have an external viewing of La Sagrada Familia. We will also be embarking on a town trail in Tossa de Mar, visiting the popular Las Ramblas Shopping Area, and experiencing the exhilaration of Waterworld. Additionally, we will be exploring the vibrant La Boqueira Market, giving students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture.

 

To ensure parents' peace of mind, we will provide live trip tracking throughout the trip. Moreover, each student will be allowed one piece of checked-in hold luggage per person for their belongings. All meals are included, except for en route meals.

 

The total cost for this trip is £820, which includes flights, transportation within the UK and Spain, entry fees to attractions, meals, and insurance. To secure a place for your child, a deposit of £200 is due by the 24th of January. We understand that this may be a significant payment, so we are happy to arrange instalments for your convenience for the rest of the cost. Please note that a valid passport will be required for each student to participate in this trip.

 

We strongly believe that this Barcelona trip offers a perfect opportunity for our students to not only broaden their horizons but also enhance their understanding of Spanish culture and language. We are confident that they will return with memories that will last a lifetime.

 

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this trip, please do not hesitate to contact us. We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to providing our students with this incredible educational experience.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Mrs V. Vick

Head of MFL

Under no circumstances will we take any pupils with poor behaviour.  Furthermore we reserve the right to remove anyone from the trip should there be any occasions of unacceptable/irresponsible   behaviour which we deem serious enough to justify such a measure.  This will result in a loss of money for the parents/guardians dependent upon monies paid to the travel company at the point of exclusion from the trip.
