My thanks to Ms Meena who has been delivering university application assemblies for our Grade 11s across the last four weeks (Canada, UK, US, Netherlands, rest of Europe etc). This week Ms Meena delivered a really helpful presentation for our Grade 11 students. Application processes for the UK have changed, so this clarity was really well received. I should add, that on the subject of universities, the University of Cambridge has issued guidance for CP students. It is really good to know that the most esteemed universities in the UK see the value of the excellent CP pathway.

Finally, I would like to thank Ms Hannah Kelly, our Head of Safeguarding, for her incredible preparation for our Safeguarding Compliance Visit this week, conducted by GEMS Head of Safeguarding, Ms Claire Scowen. Claire was really impressed by the evidence, which was reflected by what she saw and who she spoke to (including students) on the day. Nothing is more important than keeping our students safe and I am grateful to all staff, and in particular the safeguarding team led by Ms Hannah, for their hard work.

Kind regards, and have a good weekend,
