St Albans Independent College

And just like that, another academic year is coming to a close.
To everyone waiting on results or preparing for year 11 and 13- we're rooting for you. Whatever this year looked like, you've shown up, kept going, and should be proud of how far you've come.
Wishing you all the very best for the weeks ahead, and a restful summer beyond.

A huge thank you to Dylan and Abigail at Hertfordshire County Council for the kind donation of chairs and table for the garden. The reuse shop have also helped save these from Landfill. The garden is blooming with all the Mediterranean weather. Looking forward to the seedlings flowering.

Due to the extreme heat our Thorpe Park Trip tomorrow has
been postponed until September.

Geography and PE students enjoying the River Ver and the warm weather.
We looked at river wildlife through the microscope and measured the river's Cross profile.
We also played poo sticks! Waders were essential 👌

Our fabulous Dorgan ( Dawn and Morgan) are at the following markets this Summer. Please pop along and say “Hi” and purchase your Festival crochet 🧶 attire!

Dear All,
As time comes to an end at St Albans Independent College, we wanted to write to thank each and everyone of you for helping and supporting him to grow into such a wonderful, young man.
When I dropped him off at the induction day in year 10, I never thought he would manage the day in a scary new environment, let alone 4 years at the college.
It is a true testament to you all that he felt comfortable and safe to continue. He has great integrity and an enormous respect for you all.
We feel his time at St Albans Independent College has really been a life saver for him and us.
We wish you all well and I’m sure he will keep in touch with you and tell you how he is positively impacting the world

This week there are some sad goodbyes and also some lovely words of thanks
