Is this your run-of-the-mill pantomime? 'Oh no, it isn't!'

What if the kingdom was struggling with the cost of living crisis, and the King had to marry the Evil Queen to save it?

What if Snow White was the hero who had to rescue him?

And what if this hilarious twist to the classic tale took place in a secondary school, where instead of her usual seven companions, Snow White teams up with seven social outcasts?

Join us for this fun-filled, modern reimagining of a pantomime classic that’s full of surprises, laughter, and heart! With two casts and over 120 students bringing the story to life, it’s a must-see production for all ages.

All the lighting, sound, and projection design is done by our talented students, showcasing their creativity and hard work behind the scenes.

Don't miss the magic of Snow White and The Seven Dorks!

Christmas Spirit Day, Charlton Athletic Football Club

Dear Parent/Carer

As part of our Christmas Spirit Day, Charlton Athletic Football Club, working in partnership with the London Borough of Bexley, would like to offer every child receiving or eligible for Free School Meals the chance to join us for an upcoming home fixture at The Valley (SE7 8BL) for free.

Tickets will be made available to families for the Charlton Athletic match against Mansfield Town on Saturday, December 14^th or Cambridge United on Boxing Day (Thursday, December 26th). Both games kick-off at 3pm.

Families can request up to two adult tickets for each junior ticket claimed. Tickets will be supplied on a first come, first served basis. Each family must choose one of the two games to attend, not both.

To claim your ticket, we need you to fill in the form via the attached QR code. All forms must be filled in correctly and entirely in the right format or the ticket request will not be fulfilled.

The information we need is as follows:

· Game you wish to attend

· Child’s first name

· Child’s surname

· Child’s date of birth

· House number/name and postcode

· Phone number

· Email address

· School name

· Number of adult tickets required

This form must be completed by 1pm on Wednesday, December 11th, 2024.

Tickets will only be available for collection at the stadium on the day of the game.

Best regards,

Charlton Athletic

Important Information from the Attendance Office

Punctuality

Dear Parent/Carer,

The Attendance Office would like to clarify that being late for school due to traffic in the surrounding area is not classed as an 'exceptional circumstance'. The Attendance Officers will closely monitor local issues and if there is an exceptional incident, resulting in a high volume of students being late for school, we will make reasonable adjustments on these occasions.

Students are advised to be in school at 8:15am every day to ensure they have sufficient time to go to their lockers/bathroom etc.

Students attending clubs before school must still ensure they register at 8:30am. Arrival after 8:30am is considered to be late.

Should your child be late for a genuinely exceptional reason, please email the Attendance Officers and explain these circumstances.
