✨ Celebrating our Year 11s with a fantastic Leavers’ Assembly! ✨

An emotional day full of laughter and a few tears, but it was so wonderful to look back on past memories and photos together. While it is sad to say goodbye, there is also so much excitement for the future. We are immensely proud of the young adults you have all become, and we wish every single one of you the absolute best of luck and every success as you take on your next exciting chapter 💫💫

Huge shoutout to our incredible Year 11 Library Assistants! 📚✨

On Thursday, the team got together for a special lunch to celebrate all their hard work over the years. From promoting reading and helping choose new books, to the less glamorous job of weeding the shelves, they’ve done it all!

A massive special mention goes to Faria, our Library Assistant Ambassador for Student Voice, and Ani for going above and beyond. Thank you all for making our library such a wonderful space. 🎓❤️

Oh la la!
What a performance our keen French linguists took part in! They were immersed in the French language for an hour and completed a series of fun games and quizzes. So proud of how they stepped out of their comfort zones and enjoyed this special 'Voulez-vous' theatre show in school today.

Today, some of our Performing Arts students had the incredible opportunity to participate in a performing arts workshop, where they represented the school brilliantly.

To top off an amazing day, we watched The Lion King in fantastic seats. An unforgettable experience and a wonderful source of inspiration for our young performers! 🎭🦁✨
