This week, SIX's cast treated those of us in the Year 7 office to a sneak peek during rehearsals in the school hall – and it sounded fantastic. We are certain the final performances will be nothing short of spectacular. As you’ll see in Year 7’s Weekly Wins below, SIX has given so many students the chance to discover their confidence and shine, and we cannot wait to see them all in action.

As SIX will take centre stage next week, our assembly to launch The Elephant’s Tea Party was brought forward to today. This assembly explained the purpose of the sessions and gave students an idea of what to expect during form times next week. The content should not be upsetting, but if your child has any concerns, please contact their form tutor. Thank you to everyone who has completed the form to let us know about any bereavements your child may have experienced; this information has been shared with form tutors so they can offer extra care and support.

Also coming up next week are our Girls on Board sessions. These are based on the book When Girls Fall Out, which Mr Harvey introduced at the Information Evening. The sessions aim to help students navigate and resolve friendship issues – something we know can be complex and ever-changing. This programme has been hugely successful over the years, and we hope it will empower our girls to manage their friendships independently.

7CY: Skyler A became the South England champion for U13s high jump this weekend - wow!

7MX: Ellie B got into Kingston Rose Theatre, and Sia W and Lily A passed their badminton trials. A massive well done to everyone in 7MX for their hard work with SIX: TEEN EDITION rehearsals. Poppy B scored a try in her rugby game at the weekend, and Amber S and her LAMDA group are working hard for their final plot!

7MY: There was some fantastic dedication to the form's litter pick last week - well done! Elsewhere, Lottie S had an exciting audition for a musical.

7PX: We are very proud of Amelie P for performing at the Leatherhead Theatre.

7PY: The form displayed some absolutely amazing Drama work, bringing A Midsummer Night’s Dream to life! Well done!

Year 8 have had a fantastic week and have approached their learning with a real commitment to doing their very best, especially during their assessments. 8PY tackled their History assessment with resilience and courage alongside Mr Murphy, while 8EX supported one another brilliantly when revising for their Science assessment.

A huge well done to Lia R 8MX and Evie R 8CY, who have both achieved over 300 points this year. In addition, over 73 students have maintained a streak of 100% attendance - an outstanding achievement, particularly during the traditionally challenging month of January. I have also seen a significant increase in sign-ups for extra-curricular activities, which is wonderful to see.

Alongside these remarkable achievements, Year 8 have started designing our 'Proud Magazine' during form time. The magazine is a chance for your daughter to reflect on her efforts and successes, and to take pride in being a part of the Year 8 community. Most importantly, the project is about celebrating your daughter - her growth, resilience, and the many things that make her proud. 8CY and 8PX beautifully demonstrated the passion I hope to see throughout this project by designing their front covers with real detail and precision. I am really excited to see their ideas come together and to share the finished result with you during our school events.

With our school production launching soon, we are celebrating all things SIX: TEEN EDITION next week! There is an array of activities, from teacher costume catwalks, dodgeball and quizzes! Tickets to see the production are still available to purchase on ParentPay and would be a great way for your daughter to support her peers!

🏆 WEEKLY WINS 🏆

Year 9 have had a fantastic week of lessons, working hard as they revise and prepare for their mid-year assessments, which begin next week. While many students will spend time revising this weekend, please remind them of the importance of looking after themselves too. Good sleep, fresh air, time away from screens, healthy meals, and moments with friends or family are all vital for focus, memory, and wellbeing.

The Year 9 pastoral team feel very lucky to have an office in the main building – we’ve been treated to the sounds of SIX: TEEN EDITION rehearsals from the hall, and the show is sounding incredible! Next week is officially ‘SIX Week’, so don’t forget to purchase your wristband on ParentPay to access the exciting events building up to the big performances.

We’ve also loved seeing so many students starting their Volunteering, Physical, and Skills activities for their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. A reminder that students should log their activities in the programme planner on the DofE app for approval and aim for one hour per week. No need to worry if they haven’t found activities for all sections yet – there’s still time! Please see the attached PDF for ideas, and if they need help or inspiration, they’re welcome to pop into the Year 9 office at break or lunch.

We’ve had another fantastic turnout for revision sessions this week, with around 100 students attending each of the English, Maths and Science sessions, and many more joining morning and lunchtime sessions in other departments. This hard work and determination is reflected in lessons too – well done, Year 11!

Thank you for continuing to remind your child about the revision sessions available. Rooms and details are posted weekly on the Year 11 Google Classroom, so this should be their first point of reference.

And it doesn’t stop there! It has been a joy to see Year 11 students involved in the wonderful SIX: TEEN EDITION rehearsals – whether on stage, behind the scenes or in the band, they are smiling and thriving. If you haven’t got your tickets yet, make sure you do! Performing at Leatherhead Theatre is a fantastic opportunity and one they will remember for years to come.

Next week, there will be a range of activities and events around the school site to give Year 11 a well-deserved break from revision and lessons.

Information will also be sent out shortly about purchasing the Class of 2026 Leavers’ Yearbook and Hoodies, as well as details of our end of year celebration at Denbies Wine Estate on Thursday 18 June 2026.

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Year 12

Formal Assessments

Year 12 formal assessments have now finished, marking an important point in the academic year and providing students with a valuable opportunity to reflect on their progress so far.

Next Steps

Now that assessments are complete, it is essential that students fully engage with the feedback they receive. Feedback is most effective when acted upon. Students should reflect honestly on their performance and, where outcomes have not met expectations, recognise that their behaviour for learning may not have supported success. This is not about blame, but about growth. We encourage students to consider what needs to change and discuss this openly with their class teachers so improvements can be made moving forward.

The next set of formal Year 12 assessments will run from Monday 20 April to Friday 1 May, giving students time to take on board advice, make adjustments, and demonstrate progress.

Reports

Reports will be issued shortly and sent home to parents. These provide a clear overview of attainment, effort, and behaviour for learning, and should be used as a discussion point between students, parents, and teachers.

PDC – Emotional and Physical Wellbeing

Our current PDC topic, Emotional and Physical Wellbeing, finishes this week. Students will learn what to do in an emergency, including how to perform CPR. Further reading links are available to support this important learning:

Work Experience

Our next two assemblies will focus on work experience, which every Year 12 student must complete at the end of this academic year. Students should now ensure they are:

• Actively engaging with Unifrog

• Reading all school emails and newsletters carefully

Students are responsible for arranging their own placements, and early preparation is key.

Surrey University Trip – Tuesday 3 March 2026

Apologies for the delay in sending information regarding the Surrey University trip in March. Details have now been sent out this week. We would appreciate parents covering the cost of the trip, and we are also looking for parent volunteers to support us on the day. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the university application process. If you can help, please email Mrs Cooley.

Year 13

It was a pleasure to welcome you on site for your child’s final Parents’ Evening. We hope you came away with a clear understanding of next steps to help your child progress. If you have anything you would like to follow up, please contact your child’s personal tutor or, if more appropriate, myself.

Next Steps and 1:1 Meetings

This round of 1:1 meetings will focus on reflections from reports and encourage students to consider how they will revise for their next set of mocks and, ultimately, their final exams in the summer. These conversations are already happening in school, and it would be helpful to continue them at home too.

PDC – Healthy Relationships

This half term, our PDC focus is on healthy relationships. We have covered a session on FGM, which students engaged with sensitively and maturely. The next lesson will be on honour-based violence. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns or questions.

Leavers’ Yearbooks, Hoodies and Celebration

As this is the year students leave us, we want to mark this milestone appropriately and give them something tangible to look back on. We will soon share details about Leavers’ Yearbooks and Hoodies.

Our Leavers’ Celebration will take place at Leatherhead Golf Club on Wednesday 24 June 2026. We hope to see as many students as possible there to raise a glass, have a dance, and celebrate all their hard work. More information will follow soon.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Genevieve B 12ELR and Marta N 13OJM for achieving the most points so far.

Mrs Boundy - Head of Year 12

Miss Nejad - Head of Year 13
