Welcome back to the second half of term. November’s here and with it some very autumnal weather. On the last two days before half term, 499 girls from Years 7-10 and the Sixth Form, went on residential trips. The girls really embraced the aims of the trips, which were primarily for them to push themselves out of their comfort zones and to reconnect with a wider circle of people amongst their peers. The trips were a great success, and was a lovely way to round off the first half of term. In other news, Thursday last week the infamous Halloween Horror Maze provided a great night of fun which was enjoyed by girls in every year in the school! And finally, this term, three of our top mathematicians in Year 9 have been fortunate to attend the Royal Institution Mathematics Masterclasses on Saturday mornings at the University of Brighton. Rose O, Yoyo Z, and Joy Z have joined other students from across Sussex to participate in lectures and workshops.
