I must start by saying what an incredible evening we had at our recent Open Evening! The school was absolutely buzzing with energy as we welcomed approximately 360 families through our doors. It was wonderful to see so many prospective students and their families exploring what our school has to offer.
From the moment the evening began, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. Our dedicated staff and enthusiastic current students did a fantastic job showcasing our facilities, sharing their experiences, and making everyone feel at home. It was particularly lovely to meet so many Year 6 pupils, who threw themselves into the activities and seemed to really enjoy their first experience of life at our school. We are incredibly proud of the positive feedback we’ve received, and it’s a real testament to the hard work and commitment of everyone involved in making the evening such a success.
Evenings such as these can only be such a great success because of those involved. A huge thank you to our staff, student volunteers, our Canteen Staff, the School Pastors, School Admissions, MHST, and of course, the families who came to visit us.
A reminder that flu vaccinations will be taking place in school next week. Please be aware that no child will be vaccinated without prior consent, so it is essential that parents and carers complete and return the necessary consent forms as soon as possible. If you haven’t received one or need support, please contact the school reception.
We’re excited to be holding our Year 7 Disco on Tuesday evening to celebrate the fantastic start our newest students have made in joining the school community. It’s a great opportunity for them to relax, have fun, and spend time getting to know each other outside of lessons.
The group of excited students and staff are heading off on the China trip next week! This promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, packed with culture, history, and unforgettable memories. We look forward to following their adventures on social media and the amazing stories when they return. I’m sure you will join me in wishing them a safe and enjoyable trip.
Have a lovely weekend.
