This week we have seen the Year 12 inductions days take place. We had record numbers of students come along to take part in A level and BTEC lessons as well as exercises in getting to know each other . We wish them all the best for the August results day and welcoming them back to school September.  Thank you to the Sixth Form team for their organisation of the two days.

We received the fantastic news that the Under 15 Girls have won the Cricket County Championship.  Over a close competition they have won due to run rate showing that our very own version of Baz Ball cricket works.  Congratulations to the team and to Mrs Hartwell their coach.

Next week our focus will be on Excellence, Motivation and Confidence as we look forward to the Paris Olympics, highlighting the importance of having aspirations, hopes and dreams.

All students have Personal Development lessons, part of which includes careers advice. Please click HERE to take you to the Upcoming Opportunities page which is updated regularly with information and advice.
