Today, we held our 'Wear it Green Day' in support

Today, we held our 'Wear it Green Day' in support of Mental Health Foundation Awareness Week. This event not only marks the end of term, but it also concludes our Mental Health Awareness Month, which was led by Tonbridge House. We extend our thanks to all students and staff for their hard work this term, and hope everyone has a restful break filled with some sunshine.

As we reach the end of this term and look towards

As we reach the end of this term and look towards the next, one of our focuses will be undergoing reassessment for The Quality in Careers Standard by July. The Quality in Careers Standard is the national quality award for careers education, information, advice, and guidance (CEIAG) in secondary schools, colleges, and work-based learning environments. We first gained this award in 2012, successfully attaining re-accreditation in 2015 and 2018. Out of the 7000 secondary schools and colleges in the UK, around 700 institutions currently hold the award, and we are proud to be among them.

We were delighted to welcome our soon-to-be Year 7

We were delighted to welcome our soon-to-be Year 7 students and their families to our Year 6 Welcome Evening earlier this week. It was great to see so many excited faces and smiles, and we look forward to welcoming them to our community in September. This event also marked a changing of the guard for the prefect team. Outgoing School Captain Ethan and Vice-Captain Sam and their prefect team handed the reins over to the incoming School Captain Rafe and Vice-Captain Jess and their prefect team. This event was marked by the two prefect teams singing our school song to Year 6 and their families, as well as the ringing of the school bell by the outgoing School and Vice-Captain. We thank all the outgoing prefects for their service and wish our new prefect team the best of luck. #OlimMeminisseJuvabit
