Last week was the first week back after our half term break and it was great to see everyone jump back into school life.

Just before the break, five year-groups headed off to enjoy their residential trips, which are designed to give them the opportunity to bond with one another outside the school environment. There has been a huge amount of positive feedback, with the students acting as brilliant ambassadors for themselves and the school. Travelling to France, Belgium, Devon, and Bristol, they really did have a magnificent time.

There have been some outstanding achievements among our students over the past few weeks, including amazing success in the Mathematical Olympiad for Girls, a performance in a West End Show, and one of our Year 12s winning the National TES Poetry Competition!

As we look forward, the month ahead is full of exciting events, with the Disney Music Gala, the Dance Showcase, and performances of Jane Eyre. At the beginning of December, we are also holding our annual Christmas Fair and Carol Service. We look forward to seeing some of you at these events.
