Message from the Head Teacher Thank you for your excellent behaviour during the Graduation and Enrichment Days. You have now graduated to your new year group and I hope you will enjoy the challenges that your new timetable and curriculum brings. Year 11 have now finished their GCSEs and have left school. We look forward to receiving their results in August.

Message from the Head Teacher Well Done Joe! Here is a message I have received from a member of the public:- I am a member of the public and commute past Royal Docks school every morning, there is a gentleman that meets the school kids at the gate each morning. I have noticed that your member of staff knows every students name that walks through the gate, not only that he chats with them and knows there interests.  There hasn’t been a day that I have walked past and he is not there.  This staff member should be recognised in some way i.e. employee of the month.  Would you please pass this onto him and tell him he is doing a great job.  I would go up and do this myself but I thought it would be better sending this via email. Kind Regards, Dionne Crouch Health & Safety Advisor, London City Airport
