Without the support of the school community and, in particular, the teachers who led the Most Competitive Pathway programme (MCP), I would have not come close to achieving my higher education goals. They noticed the potential and guided me towards a destination that I never thought was possible.

Since August, our Year 12 students have celebrated their GCSE results, demonstrated exceptional personal skills and team spirit in their teambuilding activities, and showcased their leadership skills through Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS).

Earlier in the school year, our Post-16 guidance team also hosted a parent session to outline key academic expectations and university application timelines. We truly appreciate the parent participation in supporting our students' Post-16 journey. We look forward to our Year 12 continuing to grow.

Yesterday evening's Year 12 Parent meeting was a wonderful opportunity to connect and discuss the exciting final years of their studies with our parents.

Since August, our Year 12 students have celebrated their GCSE results, demonstrated exceptional personal skills and team spirit in their teambuilding activities, and showcased their leadership skills through Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS).

Earlier in the school year, our Post-16 guidance team also hosted a parent session to outline key academic expectations and university application timelines. We truly appreciate the parent participation in supporting our students' Post-16 journey. We look forward to our Year 12 continuing to grow.

Last Friday was an extravagant and colourful celebration—our Diwali Ball.

Students, families, alumni and staff came together to celebrate. We enjoyed passion, talent, and community spirit at this memorable occasion.

Our Diwali Ball is a wonderful legacy started in 1999 and has been driven forward by our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and Diwali Committee with strong dedication and great energy.

To kick off our Diwali celebration, our PTA hosted a fantastic diya painting session yesterday. Students merged their creativity with vibrant colors to celebrate the Festival of Lights.

These beautifully painted diyas will be on display for the Diwali Ball this Friday. We have less than 50 hours to go before the full enjoyment of the extravaganza and the delicious Indian buffet!

If you haven't got your tickets yet, it's your last chance to purchase them. See the link in our bio.
