Young Carers Awareness Day is a day of recognition for the UK's young carers. For further information, please see the carers trust website: https://carers.org/young-carers-awareness-day-2020-resources.

Car Parking

Rothwell Surgery has asked us to relay their request that parents/carers kindly refrain from using the surgery site when collecting students at 3.00pm as it causes an issue in their small car park which is for patient use only. Please also remember to park safely in Greening Road and not in the immediate vicinity of the school gate. We do have a large car park at the back of our school which you are welcome to use. Thank you for your co-operation.

Calling all ex-Montsaye students for text book recall

Do you know any former Year 11 Montsaye students who might have one or our copies of Romeo & Juliet or A Christmas Carol that they forgot to return? If so, please encourage them to return them to our main reception so that current students can benefit from them.
