SHOP RETURNS The parents who run the Uniform

Full boarders will of course be supported and
will have wrongly sized items returned within
school.

SCHOOL WEBSITE 'HACKED'. During the weekend of
the recent Bank Holiday the server and client files
of the commercial company to whom all items on our
website are uploaded for distribution on the net had
its security compromised. By the end of
the following long and very dispiriting day, most of
the damaged pages of our website had been
repaired and re-uploaded. However, it seems
that pupils are still finding some 'hacked' pages:
we can only apologise and
Nick Park would like to hear from any pupils or
parents who stumble across a page with a 'Darth
Vader' figure proclaiming, 'You've been hacked just
for fun'. Fun?
