Dear Parents,

It has been wonderful, as always, to see our School community come together for an inspiring and eventful few weeks.

  • International Women’s Day was a particular highlight, with local schools joining us for a day of workshops and guest speakers who shared their personal journeys and career insights from a female perspective. A special thank you to the many parents who generously gave their time—your contributions were invaluable in making this such a successful event, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
     
  • World Book Day brought a fantastic energy to the School, with pirates and a variety of characters filling the halls, bringing stories to life.
     
  • Our Sixth Formers, whilst working with the Royal Institution, have taken on the role of teachers through the STEM Masterclasses, an initiative that has been a great success in inspiring and supporting our younger pupils.

  • It has also been a busy time for sport, with more fixtures taking place, and our gymnasts showcasing their talent by winning medals in recent competitions.
     
  • We are also incredibly proud of our choir for reaching the Leicestershire Finals, a fantastic achievement.

As we continue this busy term, we extend our warmest thoughts to those in our community who are observing Ramadan and Lent, a time of reflection and devotion.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.

Mr Alan Whelpdale,

Headmaster
