As the Head of Sixth Form, it is with immense pride that I share with you the exceptional dedication and enthusiasm our Sixth form students have shown over the past couple of months when participating in numerous community events. Their commitment not only reflects their personal growth but also underscores the values we strive to instil within our school community.

A number of our students participated in Grangers, an event aimed at fostering community spirit through volunteer work. The students' contributions to the event this week were greatly appreciated and demonstrated their commitment to making a positive impact. The feedback we received after was full of thanks and praise to all those involved in making it a wonderful evening.

World Porridge Day - Thursday 10 October 2024

This was a particularly eventful day, with our students engaging in both Welly Wanging and World Porridge Day activities. Welly Wanging, a fun and competitive event, brought out the best in our students as they enjoyed a lunchtime full of friendly rivalry and laughter. They also joined in the global celebration of World Porridge Day, raising awareness and funds for a good cause while enjoying delicious porridge together.

Building Stronger Communities

The involvement of our Sixth formers in community events has had a ripple effect, fostering stronger connections between our school and the wider community. Their actions have not only benefited the recipients of their efforts but have also helped to build a sense of unity and shared purpose within our student body. It is heartening to see them understand that they are part of something larger than themselves.

Lower Sixth Social - Friday 18 October 2024 - 7.00pm to 10.00pm

We believe that a strong sense of community is vital for our students' well-being and success. The Lower Sixth Social event is designed to foster this sense of community as students get to enjoy an evening of fun activities, entertainment and the chance to unwind and socialize in a relaxed environment. It is also a great way to build friendships and integrate into the Sixth form community.

Pink Day - Friday 18 October 2024

On Pink Day, students and staff are encouraged to wear pink to support breast cancer awareness. It's a powerful way for our school community to show solidarity and raise awareness for an important cause.
