It’s always the best feeling to be able to congratulate our students and hand out awards/rewards.
A big congratulations to all those students who have received an Amazon reward voucher awarded by your Head Of Year for a variety of reasons such as excellent prolonged behaviour, good learning, great effort, good attitude to work and a high standard of work produced throughout last half term.
It was not easy to pick just a few of you!
Big Congrats!….You Know Who You Are 🙂
It’s been particularly hard for all of our students over this past year and we are proud of how you are ALL doing. Stay safe. We are looking forward to seeing you all again very soon!!

The students and the school as a whole have demonstrated an excellent start in promoting the international dimension and highlighting the benefits of learning in a global context.
