Dear Parents,

As we return from the half-term break, the weather has been nothing short of glorious, providing the perfect backdrop for our students' recent activities and achievements. 

Our pupils have embarked on a series of educational trips that have enriched their learning experiences. Additionally, a group of Year 12 girls had an incredible residential trip to Brighton, where they not only had fun but also fostered a sense of camaraderie and independence. 

Furthermore, we welcomed guest speakers who inspired our students with their knowledge and wisdom, further igniting their passion for learning.

 

Lastly, we are delighted to have achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award showcasing our commitment to providing opportunities and promoting physical education.

Looking ahead, we eagerly anticipate the Senior Prizegiving ceremony next week, celebrating the achievements and contributions of our students in Years 11 and 13.

Mr Alan Whelpdale,
Headmaster
