Uniform

With effect from August 2003 school uniform will be available from both school (for a limited period of time) but also from Ram Sports in the Town. Ram Sports will eventually handle all uniform sales. When this happens an order and delivery service to the school will be established for parents not able to get into Wincanton.

Staff Changes

Jane Dent, Sue Hopkins and Angela Winter will all leave us at the end of this term after long periods of service to KA. Veronique Jund, Noma Moyo, and Cathy Tarleton are all moving on to new posts. Tim Bates and Barry Hardman both come to the end of their contracts with us. Nicola Sclater leaves her part time post in Music to move to Australia and Becky Ruddall, LSA, moves on to Marbella.

We will be sorry to see Celia Smith come to the end of her Artist in Residence year. Her presence and her work have been inspirational for staff, students and the community. We are very grateful to SPAEDA for their sponsorship of this project.
