Good afternoon,
Welcome back to the start of the Summer Term. I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable break and that the Easter holidays provided time for both relaxation and family. It’s a pleasure to see the school buzzing with energy once again as we enter what is always a busy, productive, and exciting final term of the academic year.
This term holds a great deal of importance, particularly for our students preparing for their end-of-year assessments, public exams, or transitions to new phases of education. We are proud of how hard our pupils have worked so far and we are committed to supporting them every step of the way.
Finally, thank you as always for your continued support. A strong partnership between home and school is vital to our students’ success, and we are grateful for your ongoing involvement in their education.
Wishing everyone a successful and sunny Summer term ahead.
