Well done to all of our amazing pupils - we are delighted for you all!

We are absolutely delighted with this year's results for our pupils and our community.

🌟 A Big Thank You to Tom! 🌟

This week we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming Tom to our Family Hub as part of his work‑experience placement — and what a week it’s been.Tom has thrown himself into every task with enthusiasm, kindness, and a genuine willingness to learn.

From supporting staff, helping families, getting stuck into activities, and bringing a positive energy to the Hub each day, he’s been an absolute credit to himself and a joy to have on the team.

It’s been lovely watching his confidence grow throughout the week, and we’re so proud of everything he’s achieved. The families and staff have loved having him around, and he’s made a real difference during his time with us.

👏 Thank you, Tom, for all your hard work.

👏 We wish you the very best in your future — you’ll go far.

Our door is always open if you ever want to come back!

Pupils who will be in Year 8 next academic year have the chance to experience a residential trip to Wales. For more information please contact [email protected] or pupils are able to get a letter from Mrs Vallander.
