As you are aware there will be potential traffic disruption on these dates.  As a school it is our intention to function as normal - we cannot of course guarantee this.  Should you have any concerns or queries on these dates please log onto the school website – www.forthillcollege.co.uk .  This will update as and when situations change.  We also hope to have office staff on hand to take calls from 8.00am on these days.  I understand that the SEELB will also post updates on their site starting Thursday 13th June 2013.

Recently, through the Student Council – Student Voice – the girls were able to vote for their choice of a new school skirt. Various designs available from the school’s official suppliers were on view beforehand. The results indicated 93% of the girls in favour of this navy knee length skirt with box pleats at the front and back. It will be available from September 

The PE Department are delighted to have moved into their new Sports Hall that was built throughout last academic year. The main hall caters for basketball, volleyball, netball and badminton. As well as this there is a fitness room which boasts a range of cardiovascular and muscular fitness equipment for use by pupils in Years 12 to 14. This state of the art facility has already enabled the PE Department to expand on the range of activities available to pupils and to deliver a more consistent curriculum without interruption from the weather. This facility has also enabled a more comprehensive range of after school clubs to take place and the elite facility is encouraging many more pupils to attend these clubs. Pictured above is the Sports Hall and a range of photos of pupils enjoying some of the activities on offer.
