It seems astonishing that we have reached Christmas already. It has been a long and busy term, and an extremely exciting and successful one. I would like to start by thanking all of the students, parents, staff and Governors for all of the support that I have received since starting in September. I can't fault the welcome that I have had and I feel very privileged to be leading such a wonderful school. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the school and I believe that we have already made some changes that will allow us to move forward successfully. Our preparations for the new Sixth Form have continued and I would like to thank all those who provided feedback from the Open Evening on 11th December. There was a real buzz about the place and it was very clear that staff and students are really enthused about Post 16 provision from September 2015. The staff are excited about the new courses and I am confident that our students will have a great experience in the Sixth Form and will be highly successful. In January the applications for places on the A Level courses will be due and I look forward to seeing the choices that they have made. The run up to Christmas is always a busy time and we have packed a lot into the last few weeks. The Winter Concert and the Year 10 Pantomime have been great successes. The Panto was such a hit that we arranged for all of our Lower School students to get a chance to see it and there have been rave reviews. It hasn't all been fun and games though as the Year 11s have been involved in Mock examinations this week. I hope that they do get a chance to relax a little over the break to prepare for the demands of next term. May I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I hope that you all have a restful break. Mr J Luck Headteacher
