Dear Parents,

As we reach the end of another busy and successful academic year, I find myself writing my final introduction as Headmaster with a mixture of pride, gratitude, and a touch of nostalgia.

The past few weeks have been a fitting finale to the year, filled with celebration and achievement. From the Summer Ball, the Junior Show, Sports Day and Prize Giving, our pupils have shown once again what makes this School such a special place.

Exams have been sat with diligence and determination, and our girls have more than risen to the challenge. Across the year groups, they have also enjoyed a wide variety of trips and experiences beyond the classroom, broadening their horizons and making lasting memories. The achievements – academic, creative, sporting and personal – have been too many to list, but each one is a testament to the character and commitment of our students.

To our staff, my heartfelt thanks for your dedication and care. To our parents, thank you for your support, encouragement, and partnership in your daughter’s education. It has been a privilege to work alongside you.

And finally, to the girls – thank you. Your curiosity, kindness, and courage have inspired me every day. I leave this role with great confidence in the future of the School, knowing it is in the hands of such a vibrant and capable community.

Wishing you all a restful and happy summer.

Mr Alan Whelpdale,

Headmaster
