Dear Parent/Carer

This edition of the newsletter must start with thanks to many
parents/carers for their support over the past two weeks. Many of you
were kind enough to make an early start last Saturday, or the one before,
to drive your daughter to school to help out with the 11+ Tests. Nearly
300 Year 6s came to the school to sit the tests and students in Years 9 and
10 welcomed them, showed them where to go and offered a friendly face
and reassurance.
Thank you too for the encouragement at home to take part in the
European Day of Languages bake off. Entries ranged from clever designs
to traditional recipes and the sale of the cakes at lunchtime raised money
for Macmillan nurses.
Best of all over the past two weeks though has to be the fantastic take up
in our extracurricular clubs. From sport to music making, debating to
gardening, there is more choice than ever as our fantastic staff restore
some of the opportunities students have missed out on over the past 18
months.
Please do read on to see what else students and staff have been up to....
