Year 7  HoY Weekly Message
​
We have a fantastic and busy week coming up for our Year 7 students, with lots of opportunities to get involved, be active, and try something new!
​
In DT, students will be exploring creativity and strategy through a series of engaging board game activities. In PE, we’re looking forward to a brilliant mix of tag rugby, netball, and swimming sessions—plenty of chances to build teamwork, resilience, and confidence.
​
In Performing Arts, students will be diving into the energy and rhythm of African Jazz Dance, alongside a range of other exciting practical work. It’s set to be a vibrant and varied week of learning, and we can’t wait to see the students get fully involved and make the most of every opportunity!
​
Year 8&9  HoY Weekly Message
This week has been a calm and settled week across Year 8 and Year 9, with students continuing to work hard in lessons.
​
As we approach the assessment period, now is a good time for students to start managing their time carefully and building revision into their weekly schedule. A little revision each day will help them feel much more prepared and confident when assessments begin. Please encourage them to stay organised and make use of class notes and revision resources.
​
Tickets for the school production should be going on sale soon, and it will be exciting to see the production come to life. Good luck to all the students involved — all the hard work and dedication put in so far will no doubt pay off.
​​​
Year 10&11 HoY Weekly Message
​
We continue to wish all the Year 11s luck with their ongoing exams. Of course revision is crucial but it is also important that they get some rest and recuperation between exams, to try and support them to stay motivated right until the end. Staff remain available to support in any way we can – students just have to ask!
​
It was lovely to see Year 10 Students and Parents receiving feedback at the Parent Teacher Meeting on Wednesday. End of Year Exams for all Year 10s will run from Tuesday 2 June to Friday 12 June. The exam timetable is being finalised at the moment and will be shared with students (and parents) as soon as it is ready. It is a busy time for all Year 10s involved in the final preparations for the Production. I am looking forward to seeing them on stage.
Year 12&13  HoY Weekly Message
We are now into the second week of exams for our Year 13 students and again it has been nice to see students supporting each other, getting help from teachers and working hard – I'm sure it will all pay off come results day!
​
Year 12 have been preparing for their future by working on their Personal Statement for university applications with Mrs. Deacon. Echoing what she shared with the students, it is much better to complete the sections of the personal statement after these information sessions whilst everything is still fresh in the mind – let’s reduce procrastination! Year 12 are also working towards the next milestone for their Extended Essay – due Monday. It is important that students have a healthy balance between their academic studies, their extracurriculars (such as production), and their wellbeing. If you feel that your child could use some extra support in this, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Head of Residence Weekly Message:
It has been another calm and purposeful week in the Residence, with a strong focus on routine, wellbeing, and preparation.
​
Our main highlight was the Residence’s Got Talent event on Thursday, which brought great energy and enjoyment to the community. It was wonderful to see boarders confidently sharing their talents and supporting one another in such a positive and inclusive environment.
Over the weekend, Mr Sarvagya led engaging cooking sessions for our seven-day boarders. These sessions continue to be a valuable opportunity for students to develop practical life skills while enjoying time together in a relaxed and social setting.
​
Our Year 12 boarders have also been busy preparing for next Saturday’s Year 13 Appreciation Celebration. They are showing excellent leadership and care in planning an event that recognises and celebrates the contributions and journeys of our graduating students.
​
A particular commendation goes to our Year 11 and Year 13 boarders, who continue to demonstrate outstanding commitment during their study leave. Their focus, discipline, and mature approach to their revision and examinations have been excellent, and it has been pleasing to see them making full use of the Residence spaces to support their learning.
​
Overall, it has been a steady and productive week in the Residence, with boarders continuing to demonstrate maturity, community spirit, and engagement in daily life.
