As we approach the February half-term, our Year 7 students have been making fantastic progress in their learning and overall development. They have settled into secondary school life with enthusiasm, showing resilience, curiosity, and a growing confidence in their subjects. Their engagement in lessons has been impressive, with many demonstrating a strong work ethic and a willingness to participate in class discussions. It has also been wonderful to see them embracing extracurricular activities, building friendships, and contributing positively to the school community. As we move into the next half of the term, we look forward to seeing them continue to flourish and achieve even more success.

As we approach the February half-term, our Year 8 students have been demonstrating great progress, maturity, and enthusiasm in their learning. They are building on the foundations laid last year, showing increased independence and confidence across all subjects. It has been fantastic to see their growing resilience and engagement, both in the classroom and through extracurricular activities. As they continue to develop their skills and knowledge, we encourage them to maintain this positive momentum. ward to seeing many of you there!

As we approach the February half-term, our Year 9 students have been showing fantastic dedication and maturity in their studies. This is an important year as they begin to consider their future pathways, and it has been great to see so many of them engaging thoughtfully with their learning and making informed choices about their next steps. Their enthusiasm in lessons, willingness to challenge themselves, and growing independence have been particularly impressive. Beyond the classroom, many have been actively participating in extracurricular activities and demonstrating leadership skills within the school community. We are excited to see them continue to develop their confidence and aspirations as the year progresses.

We encourage students to begin having conversations, both with teachers and parents and carers at home, regarding GCSE Option Choices and the route they would like to take, which best aligns with their future plans. We will soon be sharing more information regarding Year 9 Parents and Options Evening, where students are able to continue these conversations with their subject teachers.
