Dear Parent/Carer
Welcome to Pleckgate High School
Congratulations! Your child has been successful in securing a place at Pleckgate High School for September 2016. As you may know, the school recently converted to Academy status as part of the Education Partnership Trust and we are now looking to build on the recent success of the school and use our Academy status to bring about continued improvements to the education of the young people within our Pleckgate community. I am proud to be the new Headteacher, ready to lead the school on a journey towards outstanding.
Since I joined the school in January 2016, I have found the school to be completely focused on ensuring the best outcomes for all students. Our school’s GCSE results last year were amongst the highest in the borough and placed us as the fifth highest performing school in the country, compared to schools with similar prior attainment.
We are very proud of our achievements: our examination success, our extra-curricular programme, our charity work and our community involvement. We are committed to the pursuit of outstanding teaching and learning, alongside the highest possible academic, personal and moral standards for all students. This commitment is built upon a shared belief in hard work, self-reflection and a culture of respect and support for others.
I would like to invite you and your child to a welcome event on Wednesday 23rd March from 5:00pm until 6:00pm when you can take part in exciting activities and experience our outstanding facilities. This is also an opportunity for parents to meet with staff and senior leaders and learn more about our school.
Please could you confirm your attendance at the welcome event by calling the school on 01254 249134 or sending an email to admissions2016@pleckgate.com
I look forward to meeting you.
Yours sincerely
Mark Cocker
Headteacher
