School Gateway – Cashless Catering
We are aware that currently there are technical issues with the above. The App is displaying incorrect amounts on a student’s account.
No student will be denied access to canteen facilities but will be limited to their usual daily spend.
This is a nationwide problem. The Gateway Suppliers are actively working to resolve the issue and they have given us their reassurance that no extra monies are being withdrawn from personal bank accounts.

New Broadband Package Available Soon
BT have announced the launch of a new broadband tariff – BT Home Essentials – and this will take place in June this year and may assist some families.
BT Home Essentials is a separate and improved social tariff compared to BT’s initial version, BT Basic. Home Essentials provides an average of 36 Mbps download speeds and 700 minutes of calls for £15 a month, around half the price of a standard BT fibre and calls package. Alternatively, eligible customers can also opt for average speeds of 67 Mbps and unlimited calls for £20 per month.

IMPORTANT: School Update Letter (09/12/2020)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YEAR 11 STUDENTS
Following a subsequent call from TTP all Year 11 students are now required to self-isolate until the end of Monday 14th December. This is most regrettable, however the safety of all members of our community remains our top priority.
Remote blended learning will begin tomorrow for Year 11 and students should follow their standard curriculum from home until the close of this term. Please remind Year 11 students that they have important mock examinations in early January.
Their teachers will explain more about these in lessons next week.

Free School Meals Update September 2020:
As not all year groups will be returning to school within the first two weeks of the autumn term, you will continue to receive the free school meal award via a secure direct payment for your child(ren) for the period 1st September 2020 to 11th September 2020. Due to this your child(ren) will not receive a free school meal on the days they attend school during this time, therefore you will need to provide your child(ren) with a packed lunch or money to purchase a lunch using the school’s preferred payment method.
Year 12 pupils: If your child(ren) is returning to year 12 and you are eligible to free school meals, you will need to reapply on line via Flintshire County Councils web site.
