What is important is to keep learning, to enjoy challenge, and to tolerate ambiguity. In the end there are no certain answers.

Message from the Headteacher

Julia Upton, Headteacher

  

Monday 14th May

 

I am delighted to announce that Ele Williamson and Alfie Fawkner have been appointed as Head girl and boy for the coming year.  They will be ably supported by Audrey McBride and Nicholas Harrison as Deputy Head girl and boy.  Students in Year 10 and staff made initial nominations against set criteria.  From this eight students were selected for interview.  The panel was made up of students and staff. All the candidates came across very well and made our decision a very difficult one.

This week we welcome students from our partner school in Arras as part of the Year 9 french exchange.  Students will host their partner for a week, taking part in activities in and out of school.  We are proud of our exchange program, run by Mrs Johnson, which allows students to immerse themselves in the language they are studying.

It was a pleasure to read the reports of all Year 10 students at the end of last week.  They really are shaping into an exceptional year group.
