We are aware that some of our students are participating in the Lewes Bonfire celebrations, some as part of bonfire societies, which may necessitate late finishes. Please be advised of some notices for the two days on the 5^th and 6^th November 2024:

Tuesday 5^th November 2024:

The school day will run as normal, finishing at 3.20pm.  Please note some clubs will be cancelled this week to allow staff and students to get home before road closures. Netball and Art club both confirmed as cancelled this week. Check with staff for any others.

Wednesday 6^th November 2024:

• This will be 'business as normal', with students expected in for 8.43am start.
• For students who are involved in the evening of the 5^th with Bonfire Societies, we will authorise absence for a 10.55am start. Please could we ask that parents and carers email our Attendance Manager, Esther Molog at esther.molog@kingsacademies.uk in advance to advise us that your child is unable to attend by 8.43am on the 6^th November 2024. 
• Please could we ask Year 11 parents and carers to also notify Esther Molog at esther.molog@kingsacademies.uk if your son/daughter will not be present for the History exam on the morning of the 6^th November 2024. We will review this list and ensure a contingency is in place if needed.  Please make it very clear that your child is Year 11 and will be missing the History exam. 
• Any student absence after 10.55am will be unauthorised.

We wish you a happy & safe Bonfire Night if you are celebrating!
