What a time in the 444 year history of our school!.
With former and current students coming to say goodbye and share their memories, we moved into our beautiful new building that will serve the needs of the students and the community for many years to come.
This is a unique environment to study and teach, as we have frequently mentioned.
We are once again proud of our kids' "best ever" examination performance, which was above "National Averages" in practically all important performance metrics.
Our journey took a big stride forward with the release of our Ofsted report.
The report demonstrates the commitment we have to ensuring that we provide the best educational opportunities for the students in our care.
They really buy into our 'We Can and We Will' ethos, where effort and engagement really matters.
It is our responsibility to raise students' aspirations, encourage them to do their best work, and ensure that they are leaving us with the brightest futures conceivable.
The principal inspector remarked, "Students' behaviour is superb.
The lead inspector noted in the final report that "The school is well led and managed.
The impact of school leaders and the Principal is largely positive among parents, students, and staff.
This school offers numerous chances for growth.
I am a firm believer in growing talent and consequently we reap the rewards of being innovative and enthusiastic.
