We are coming to the end of a busy Spring term – our first full Spring term since 2019! Our Year 11 students have been busily preparing for their examinations which start next half term and we are very proud of the work ethic they have demonstrated so far and look forward to getting them over the finish line next term. Look out for some revision top tips, including the importance of some R&R, for Year 11 on our social media channels over the Easter break.
Our Year 10s have been really impressing us this week in their prefect interviews and the Lower School has been a hive of enterprise with their industrious fundraising efforts for numerous wonderful causes. Without doubt, there are some future entrepreneurs in the making…
I am sure you are all eagerly awaiting the Easter break and some time at home or away in the Spring sunshine. I would like to thank all of you for your ongoing support and wish you all a restful break.
