A message from our Head teacher, Mrs. A SharmaIt has been a real pleasure to see you grow in to such fantastic young adults. I am very proud of your achievements so far and am delighted to hear about your chosen paths, be it a university course or apprenticeship or employment.
Be confident, positive and remember that leaving this school is like leaving a nest and it is time for you to spread your wings, fly and reach soaring heights that you are capable of.
I look forward to hearing about your successes in the future and wish you all the very best for the future.

But there are plenty of things you can start doing right now to make sure you’re ready for September.
