Last week, we said farewell to our Year 11 students as they began their study leave.
Today, they sat their first GCSE examination, marking the beginning of an important stage in their journey. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved during their time with us and know they will approach the weeks ahead with determination and resilience.
Year 11, you will be greatly missed around school. We wish you every success in your examinations and hope you manage this period with confidence and as little stress as possible.
A special thank you to our incredible Marketing Club for putting together this wonderful video to celebrate our Year 11 students.
Good luck to each and every one of you. We are all behind you.

Today, our GCSE Product Design students were invited to visit the FUN office of Fun-damental Invention.
Students were given a behind-the-scenes insight into the world of toy design, exploring how ideas are developed, tested and turned into real products. It was a fantastic opportunity to see creative thinking and innovation in action within a real design business.
The students have also created a video of their visit, capturing their experience and what they learned along the way.
A huge thank you to the team at Fun-damental Invention for such a welcome and inspiring visit. @fun_damental_invention

Our Year 7 pupils took the lead, hosting a fantastic assembly for Years 4, 5 and 6 all about life in our senior school.
After hearing their insights and experiences, our younger pupils asked a range of thoughtful questions, showing real curiosity about the journey ahead, it turns out senior school isn’t so scary after all!
A wonderful example of pupils supporting one another and building confidence across year groups.

What a fantastic Gruffalo Day we had!
Our Pre-Prep pupils spent the day exploring the wonderful world of The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. We set off on an exciting Gruffalo hunt around the school grounds, searching for clues and spotting familiar characters from the much-loved story.
After enjoying a lovely picnic outdoors, we headed off on a special theatre trip to experience the magic of live storytelling. The performance brought the story to life in a fun, engaging, and wonderfully imaginative way.
There were plenty of laughs, a few scary Gruffalo moments, and lots of excited faces throughout the day. Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed the hilarious performance and loved immersing themselves in the world of the Gruffalo.
A truly memorable day filled with adventure, storytelling, and smiles all around.
A special thank you to Reception pupil Lily for her wonderful rendition of The Gruffalo on this reel.

What a weekend on our Silver DofE expedition.
Swindon sunshine and some very stylish sunhats kicked things off on Saturday followed by a full day of walking and camp cooking.
Sunday brought an unforgettable wake up call from a very loud donkey but the girls smashed their first independent walk with resilience and teamwork then topped it off with their own talent show.
Monday meant packing up the dreaded Trangia clean and celebrating Luisa’s birthday before a brilliant Ridgeway walk finishing early and earning well deserved ice creams.
Huge thanks to A Z Expeditions and the amazing Matt Kristy Phil and Carole So proud of the girls.

A glimpse into rehearsals at the end of last term, as our GCSE Drama students prepared for their scripted exam, Be My Baby by Amanda Whittington. Students specialised as either actors or designers, bringing to life the story of two girls sent to a 1960s mother-and-baby home, a powerful and emotional exploration of stigma, friendship, and loss.
