Happy New Year! We trust that the holiday season brought joy and relaxation to you and your families. As we embark on a new year, we are eager to share the exciting happenings planned for the upcoming Lent Term.
Year 11 Discovery Day - Today, Friday 12 January - Unleashing Potential
Today we marked the Year 11 Discovery Day, a fantastic opportunity for our students to delve into various aspects of their academic journey. From insightful talks from Old Princethorpians, to interactive sessions about A-level subjects, the day was both enlightening and entertaining. Thanks to all the current Sixth Form for their support with this key event.
TEFL Course - This Weekend, Saturday 13 January and 20 January - Global Perspectives
This weekend, our students will have the chance to participate in a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) course. This initiative is designed to broaden their horizons and enhance their communication skills, preparing them for a globalized world. We believe in nurturing not only academic excellence but also in equipping our students with skills that transcend borders.
Burns Night Celebrations - Embracing Tradition
As we celebrate Burns Night, a cherished Scottish tradition, our Sixth Form students will come together to honor the life and poetry of Robert Burns. This cultural celebration fosters a sense of community and camaraderie, allowing our students to appreciate the richness of diversity and tradition.
Burns Night for Malawi - Thursday 25 January 2024
We are thrilled to invite you to our upcoming Burns Night event!

Lower Sixth Interview Skills Day - Preparing for the Future
Later in the term, we are delighted once again to host an Interview Skills Day for our Lower Sixth students. This event aims to equip them with the essential skills needed for successful interviews, preparing them for future academic and professional endeavours. We encourage your support and engagement as your child takes these critical steps towards their future.
We look forward to your active participation in these events, creating a collaborative and supportive community for our students. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Together, let's make this term a time of growth, exploration, and achievement for our Sixth Formers.
