We have reached the end of the academic year and it has certainly been an exciting time for the school. It has been an historic year for the school as we have launched our Sixth Form as part of the Epping Forest District Consortium. It has been a delight to have such a wonderful group of students in Year 12 and they have been fantastic role models for the younger pupils. We await Results Day with eager anticipation. The indications are that we are going to have a much larger cohort for Year 12 in September as so many of our Year 11s have stated that they want to stay with us. We have also had a healthy number of external applications for places. I would like to thank Mr Harris and his team for all their hard work in getting the Sixth Form off to such a positive start. I very much hope that this will be the start of something very special for the school. On Monday many parents, staff, friends and Governors were in attendance in the Hall to enjoy the production of the Lion King. I would like to thank Ms Potter for the immense amount of work that went in to putting on such a great show but it was a real team effort. I can't thank the staff enough who gave of their time willingly in costume making, set design and the endless rehearsals. It was great that so many students were involved and the standard of acting and singing was wonderful. It was a real triumph and it was great that the year groups got the chance to enjoy some excerpts from the show in the assemblies this week. Very well done to all involved. There have been many sporting triumphs this year and this continues into the summer with Abbie Bromley (10X) being selected to represent the South East at netball. She is heading off to Geneva at the end of August to play against the Swiss under 17 side so we wish her every success. Also congratulations to Dylan O'Brien (7T), Teddy Gipson (7Q) and Cameron Grossett (10X) who have all been chosen to represent Essex in their respective age groups in the recent rugby trials. Saracens rugby coaches will coach the successful boys once a month starting in first week of September. A tremendous effort all round and a great opportunity to play at the elite level. I would like to thank all parents who have supported the school so effectively this year. I would also like to highlight the huge amount of effort that the teachers and support staff have put in over the course of the year. I hope that they can all have a well earned rest over the holiday. I hope that you all have a lovely summer and I look forward to next term. James Luck, Headteacher.
