Mrs Syradd and Ms Rogers met with the Pupil Leadership Team to celebrate the end of their time as the PLT 2025-2026. We would like to say a huge "thank you" to them for the positive impact that they have had this year as leaders. This year they have made important changes across school, listened to their community of pupils, provided useful feedback to promote positive change and been thoughtful in the decisions that they have made. Thank you to Rohan, Florence, Anantha, Arjunan and Roshni!

It's that time of year when we thank our Form 6 Pupil Leadership team for being so brilliant and helpful over the past year and look towards choosing our next PLT for 2026-2027. Form 5 eloquently delivered their speeches at our Hustings assembly and expressed why they think they would be the perfect candidate for Head of House or Head Pupil. Over the past week the whole school have been voting for who they would like to be Head of Aquila, Cygnus and Leo as well as choosing two Head Pupils. Stay tuned as we count the votes and announce our Pupil Leadership Team for September 2026!

Forms 5 and 6 visited the British Library last week and enjoyed finding lots of interesting manuscripts in the 'Treasures Room' such as Henry VIII's bible and the first printed edition of Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. They then participated in a wonderful workshop on sustainability which included an Eco Trail and composing and performing their own Sustainability class poem! They all had a brilliant day.

On Monday 22nd June, four of our Form 5 pupils took on 11 other teams at the Year 5 Inter-Schools Linguistics Olympiad held at Royal Russell. They spent the afternoon cracking codes in languages they had never seen before and we also heard a brilliant talk from a former Royal Russell pupil now studying Linguistics at Cambridge. Huge congratulations to Kyra, Malaika, Ethan and Janvi on a fantastic effort!
