Principal’s Update
Published: Fri 14 February 2025Dear parent/carers,
This half term has flown by and the students have enjoyed lots of learning as well as a host of other activities. We hope they all enjoy a much needed break. Thank you for your continued support: we look forward to welcoming all students back on Tuesday 25th February 2025 at the usual time. If your child is in year 7 & 10, we will see you Monday 24th February for Parent & Carer Day.
Year 10 France Trip – Sete
This week, our Year 10 students who study French took a trip to the south of France. They landed in Montpellier and travelled to Sete, where they stayed with local families, attended language school and participated in cultural activities, including some cooking classes which was a favourite for many.
Outward Bound Trip to Wales
Last week, the 36 students from years 7, 8 and 9 who achieved the most merits for this year were awarded the opportunity to go to our annual Outward Bound Trip to Wales. They were challenged by a variety of adventurous activities such as hiking, rafting and night camps, all designed to build their team work and resilience. They had a wonderful time, as the pictures below show.
University Programme Year 9 students
Over the last few days some of our year 9 students participating in the University Programme engaged in a variety of careers workshops in a diverse range of fields, including private equity, copyright laws and interior design. They finished the programme with a trip to the UBS Bank, where they worked with employers to develop and present their business ideas (as well as enjoy the delicious lunch provided!)
