Head Teacher's Message
Head Teacher's Message
I had a very different newsletter in mind for today sharing our first set of GCSE results and my delight in welcoming students (both new and old) into school over the last few days; but in light of the events of yesterday, I feel that it is more appropriate and fitting to share with you only the bare minimum and essential information this week. If you haven't already, please do read our GCSE results press release here.
There are many words and messages that leaders and establishments have shared both online and in the media over the last few hours regarding the Queen - some truly moving and inspiring.
Therefore I will simply say that our school community are saddened to hear of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and offer our condolences to her family at this time. A truly inspirational figure, her duty, diligence and desire to better our world will be long remembered by all.
