Basic Skills Quality Mark
I am very pleased to inform you that Middle Street has achieved the Basic Skills Quality mark award for the fourth time. The assessment process is very rigorous with the assessors looking at a number of different elements to ensure we met the high standards required for achieving the quality mark. All staff worked very hard to ensure we achieved this important award.
Fred Dinenage and the Royal Wedding

Family Information Event
We are holding a Family Information event for parents, carers and school staff from the city centre schools. A number of support services will be on hand to explain what they offer and how you can access support for your child and your family. Our aim is to help make school staff and their families aware of the many services out there which provide help and support. The event takes place here at Middle Street in the school hall on Wednesday 16th march 2.30 – 5.00.

Middle Street Grown Ups Choir
The Middle Street choir is still going strong with regular members both male and female. However, we would love more people to come along and join in. If you are interested in joining in the fun come along on a Thursday 5.00 – 6.00 to the school hall. It’s great fun and at the moment it is still free. You can bring friends and other family members with you. The more the merrier. It’s not formal in any way and you will be amazed at the end of just one session you will have sung a whole song brilliantly even if in your view you can’t sing. If you don’t believe come and try it out for yourself. Go on I dare you!
