The Flagpole

As we approach the end of the year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible achievements and experiences our students have had over the past few weeks. It has been a time of growth, learning, and community spirit that has made us all immensely proud.

Alton Towers Trip Success

Last week, our Sixth Form students enjoyed an exhilarating day at Alton Towers. The trip was a well-deserved break from their academic commitments, providing an opportunity for fun and camaraderie. It was wonderful to see the students bond and create lasting memories. Their behaviour and enthusiasm throughout the day were exemplary, and we commend them for representing our school so positively.

Birmingham UCAS Day

In addition to the Alton Towers trip, our students also attended the UCAS exhibition in Birmingham. This event was a significant step in their journey towards higher education. The students engaged with representatives from numerous universities, explored various courses, and gathered valuable information to help them make informed decisions about their futures. Their mature approach and thoughtful questions were noted by many of the exhibitors, and we are confident they have gained a clearer vision of their paths ahead.

Inaugural Make a Difference Day

Perhaps most heartwarming was our inaugural Make a Difference Day. Our Sixth Form students took the lead in supporting local communities through various projects and initiatives. Whether it was volunteering with charities, helping at community centres, or organising environmental clean-ups, their dedication and compassion were truly inspiring. This day highlighted the importance of giving back and making a positive impact on the world around us. We are particularly proud of our students for their commitment to service and their ability to make a real difference.

Looking Ahead

As we look back on these events, we are filled with pride and optimism for the future. Our students have demonstrated resilience, leadership, and a strong sense of community, which are qualities that will serve them well in all their future endeavours.

Thank you parents, for your continued support and encouragement. Your involvement is crucial in helping our students achieve their best and we are grateful for your partnership.

We wish you all a restful and enjoyable summer and we look forward to welcoming the students back for another exciting term.
