YOUR ESSENTIAL ROUND-UP FOR THE WEEK COMMENCING 15 September 2025
This Week’s Headlines:
It has been a vibrant and rewarding week at school, filled with activities that reflect the spirit, ambition, and strong sense of community at our core.
Over the weekend, we welcomed back our Bronze Duke of Edinburgh participants. Their return marked the end of a challenging yet rewarding expedition, and I commend their resilience, teamwork, and determination
On Monday, our Year 9 pupils enjoyed a dynamic Team Building Day which provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen friendships, develop leadership, and practise collaboration in new ways. We also celebrated the achievements of our Scholars. Monday’s Sports Scholars Information Evening gave valuable insight into the high standards of the programme, while Wednesday’s Music Scholars’ Tea was a fitting tribute to the talent and dedication of our musical scholars They continue to represent the school with excellence in all they do.
Thursday saw our Year 10 Netball teams competing in a tournament. Their energy, sportsmanship, and commitment were commendable and a real credit to the school.
Looking ahead, we are excited to welcome prospective families to our Open Morning this Saturday. These events remind us of the pride we take in our community and the importance of sharing our values with future families. Thank you in advance to all staff and pupils for supporting this important occasion.
Wishing you all a restful weekend

YEAR 9 TEAM BUILDING
Year 9 enjoyed some team-building activities this week. It was a great opportunity to get to know one another, learn how to work as a team, and solve puzzles. The sun even held out, so they were able to enjoy it all in lovely weather
YEAR 10 BRONZE D OF E
Last weekend, girls from Year 10 participated in the Bronze DofE. The weekend was filled with fields, challenges, and stormy weather, but Year 10 pushed through and completed it with ease. The girls had fun team building and helping each other whilst on the hike and at camp. Meals were cooked in the morning and evening, and maps and directions were shared with the girls so that they could all help each other. Overall, Year 10 had a magnificent time, and we hope ee them on their Silver DofE
