Last Friday and Saturday saw our Wind Band and Big Band playing at the National Festival of Music for Youth at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham. This event celebrates a small number of the best ensembles in the United Kingdom. Congratulations to our fantastic musicians!
Our youngsters have enjoyed an interesting, varied and fun week: playing together in the rewards activities involving inflatables across the field and working together on an array of work enrichment activities. Yesterday was Sports Day and what a sight it was to see our five houses competing in time-honoured traditional sports. On arrival at school yesterday, competitors were discussing tactics for the tug-of-war. That’s dedication!
As you know, I step away from my Executive Headteacher role at the end of this term. I have loved my 15 years of headship. They have whizzed by with each year giving so many happy memories to be recalled at leisure in the future, possibly when I take up knitting or bowling. I am handing over the reins to Mr Portas, our new headteacher who, I know, can look forward to the wonderful support from parents that I have enjoyed over the years. Thank you.

Summer Food Support
Romsey Foodbank are offering free Summer Holiday food packs for families who may need support. Please click below to view their flyer for more information.
The Careers Department rounded off a very busy year with the whole school Work Enrichment Day. Students enjoyed a range of activities such as First Aid, employer talks, college assemblies, enterprise challenges, mock interviews and careers workshops. Please see flyer below with a short roundup of the various activities throughout the year.
As we near the summer holidays, it is worth thinking about how we can be more sustainable when we are visiting new places or, indeed, exploring areas on our doorstep! One way that we can support sustainable initiatives is to eat and shop locally to the area that we are visiting. This often means visiting small businesses that are owned by local people. This ensures that the money spent directly benefits the local people and the local area, creating a more sustainable economic model. Have a look at the impact of shopping locally below:
