We are so proud of our Year 11s who are celebrating an outstanding set of GCSE results today. We enjoyed commemorating their successes this morning and
can't wait to welcome them back in September, to start their A-Level studies, with an impressive 86% achieving Grade 9-7. We are delighted to report that over 90% of our cohort received Grade 9-7 in Maths and English and 100% of our Further Maths students were awarded Grade 9-7. Congratulations and many thanks for all your hard work over the past two years!

Heartfelt thank you’s from all our graduating A Level students as well as from our staff, it is with much pride that we celebrate your success as a community.

It's hard to believe that it was as far back as 2010 that some of our Class of 2024 first arrived at Tormead. 14 years later, the 17 girls whose Tormead journey began in our Prep school have triumphed today with their A level results. We wish them every success as they embark on their exciting new adventures, whether that is Acting New York University Medicine at University of Cambridge & Newcastle University, German & History @ The University of Edinburgh, English Durham University and Psychology University of Nottingham and University of Southampton

Congratulations girls, we're so proud of YOU!

We are so very proud today, of the outstanding A Level results achieved by our Upper Sixth students. With a third of the year group being awarded straight A/A* grades and students securing courses in top UK and international universities, as well as all our medical and Oxbridge offer holders achieving their places. we wish the class of 2024 all the very best for a bright future.

We're looking forward to welcoming our Sixth Formers back tomorrow and giving thanks for all their hard work over the past year. The Olympics may be over, but we'll be placing emphasis on the three core values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect as we acknowledge their successes. Check out our stories tomorrow to celebrate alongside our Tormead heroes.

Congratulations to our U6 Historian, Freya, who has been shortlisted for the national RICHARD III SOCIETY Essay Prize. Freya had to submit a 5000 word essay on a topic relevant to The Life and Times of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, Richard III, 1452-1485.

The broad topic, rich in political, societal and economic history Freya chose to focus her essay examining the view that Richard III's usurpation of power in 1483 is best explained by his fear of the Woodvilles.

Dr Helen Carrel, Head of History at Tormead, said "I am absolutely delighted with this news, and wish Freya my warmest congratulations. The study of Richard III is a topic close to my heart, and it's been a real privilege to read Freya's great research on this topic"

Congratulations to our Eco-Committee who recently received the fantastic news that Tormead has been awarded the Eco-Schools Green Flag.

“We have loved reading about your journey and are incredibly impressed by all you have achieved along with your focus, creativity, and determination. We have no hesitation in awarding you an Eco-Schools Green Flag with Distinction.” - Eco-Schools

The committee was commended for having an Eco-Code that is “positive, inclusive and uplifting and a fitting tribute to your Eco-Schools journey”. They were also praised for their use of a variety of methods to keep the school community updated on their progress, from a virtual Eco-Board to newspaper articles.

It was great to welcome Andrew Hampton and colleagues from other schools to a training day at Tormead this week.

Girls on Board is an approach to helping girls between the ages of 7 and 18 navigate the often troubled waters of friendship problems. It also helps girls, their parents, and their teachers understand the complexities and dynamics of girl friendships. Thank you for inspiring us, Andrew!
