On 19th November 2018, Estyn arrived at the school for inspection week. We have summarised their report (published on 24th January 2019) for parents and carers. In addition, we have written to parents/carers to address certain matters arising from the Estyn report.

These letters were sent home to parents on 24th January 2019.

A small number of pupils are trespassing on Bush House land on their way to and from school. This seems to have been brought about by the recent short term road closure required to enable safe demolishing work to be conducted on the former school. Such work is temporary and should be completed by the end of January 2019.

These pupils are not those attending The Farm. They are in YHT school uniform and are being captured on CCTV by Bush House.

If this trespassing continues Bush House will use this CCTV coverage to contact the police and undertake prosecution action.

Pupils can access school by the alternative route of walking up Bush Hill, turning left and entering school by the newly constructed side gate which is open at the start and end of the day. This route is of a comparable distance; it may even be quicker.

Please ensure you do not park in the school Drop Off Zone. It is there for a clear purpose and cars inappropriately parked add to the traffic congestion at the end of the school day.

Please ensure you follow the direction markers on the road within the school Main Car Park. This will assist effective traffic control and help to avoid accidents.

At all times please ensure vehicle speed is kept to no more than 10 mph.
