The 31st October, which is the closing date for secondary school applications, is fast approaching! Have you remembered to complete and submit an application for your child’s secondary school place in September 2026?

Please note that applying early does not give any priority but to have the best chance of your application being successful, and getting a place at your choice of school, you should complete and submit your application by the deadline. Applications can still be made after this date, but may be looked at after other applications have been considered.

“Break the Rules” day

Dear Fishergate children,

On Friday 23rd May, everyone is invited to join in the fun on Break the Rules Day. The money raised this year will go to City of Sanctuary, a charity which works to build a more welcoming UK for people rebuilding their lives here. Some of our own families are currently dealing with the challenges of seeking sanctuary and we want to support them if we can. Every rule you choose to break will cost you 50p!

The rules you are allowed to break are about appearance, not our school rules. It is still important to be kind and respectful to everyone in school!

For example:

  • Wear your own outfit
  • A crazy hair style
  • Choose your own footwear (they don’t have to match!)
  • Odd socks
  • Wear an accessory such as sunglasses or a hat
  • Squash in your water bottle
  • Nail varnish
  • Face paints or make up
  • Chocolate instead of crisps (no nuts though)
  • Write in any colour you like in lessons
  • Eat pudding first at lunchtime if you want
  • Bring a small toy (not a game or device)

Your class teacher will discuss with you any other rules they are happy for you to break for just this one day. It is up to you to decide with your families which rules you want to break and how much money you are going to pay to raise funds for
City of Sanctuary UK. Please use ParentPay to make your donation.

If you do not wish to take part, just come in normal uniform – you don’t have to!
