  • JOG Festive Food Parcel Appeal

    Published 05/12/23

    We are pleased to launch the ‘JOG Festive Food Parcel’ appeal. We have been working with Storehouse – the Trowbridge foodbank – to create a special food parcel shopping list. It contains essential items along with some nice-to-haves. Across the school, tutor groups will build the same food parcel through the generous support of our families. In total, each parcel would cost around £22.00. Once delivered at the end of term, we hope a large number of JOG Festive Food Parcels can be handed directly to people who visit the foodbank over the Christmas period.

  • Oral health for Students

    Published 14/11/23

    As you may be aware, dentistry is still going through a crisis in the UK and as oral health is extremely important, especially for children, we are offering everyone under 18 a chance to be seen by an NHS dentist. To improve access to NHS Dental services, we have recruited a Dental Therapist who can see patients for a Dental examination under the Direct Access Law. They are registered and skilled Dental Professionals who support Dentists, just like senior nurses and paramedics do in GP practices.

    Dental Therapists are excellent at treating children!
