Message from the Headteacher

We have reached the end of our first full week back at school and it feels like a milestone. The school is buzzing with excitement and all members of staff have said how nice it is to see the students again. Meeting them has been a particular delight for me: what intelligent, caring and interested individuals!

The classes are a pleasure to visit. Teachers are setting the bar high and taking every child with them on an ambitious journey. In lessons, the students are fully focused, asking questions which demonstrate real insight and depth. The library has been inundated with visitors and I have enjoyed talking to students about the books they are reading.

The wider school community, including parents, COGA and the local authority, have all reached out and extended their welcome. I would like to thank you all for your sincere and ardent support. It means a great deal.

It is particularly wonderful to see everyone so happy to see each other. I am greeted at every corner with a friendly smile, and it feels good to be part of this special community.

Summer School - August 2021

We held a week-long Summer School to prepare year 7 students for the transition to year 8.

The week consisted of a blend of academic education and enrichment activities, supporting attending pupils in making up for some of their missed education over the pandemic. 

Students said they thoroughly enjoyed the week with most stating that the experience made them feel more confident about returning to school. Pupils that attended enjoyed meeting new teachers and making new friends, as well as getting opportunities to work on a wide variety of activities from drama, maths problem-solving to basketball. They have also created a fantastic mural to commemorate 150 years since the founding of the school and in recognition of this extraordinary period in the school’s history.

‘It was helpful that some of the activities were held in parts of the school our year had not had access to in the previous academic year, because it made me a little more familiar with the school. Cooking/baking the pizza rolls was a lot of fun to do. It was also very nice to have a choice (on Thursday) between what activities we could take part in! The week was a lot of fun! - Maja Y8 

Overall it was a really enjoyable week for all involved and the teachers were all incredibly impressed with how hardworking and engaged all the pupils were!

Well done!
