The websites main pages are updated weekly and sometimes more often than that. The news pages are updated when new events occur in the school. The letter archive is updated as new letters are issued and the calendar page is updated throughout the month to reflect additions and alterations to the schools calendar. The rest of the website is updated less often as it reflects information that is more static. Though the page is refreshed several time a year to add new snippets and technologies allowing you to find new information faster.

There was an interesting news article some time ago that I can't seem to be able to find now. Any ideas?

Older news articles are kept in 2 places now. If the article was from a previous school academic year they are stored in their relevant section on the new page. In the right hand bar on the new page towards the bottom of the lists are the currently archived academic years. If the news article was from the current year then its possible it has been archived into the 'older news' section. Scroll to the bottom of the current news page and you will find a link saying 'Older News', clicking on this expands the news page to show all the articles from the year. We never delete any news from our website so all articles you read will be there to read again.
