Dear Parents,

Goodness, what a busy half term! Here is a flavour of what has taken place in School in the last two weeks:

Our Drama students delivered an impressive performance of "The Tempest" at the Shakespeare Festival. In addition to this, our students achieved remarkable academic success in the Mathematics Olympiad. We hosted a successful Year 6 and 7 Taster Day, providing prospective students with a glimpse into our welcoming community.

The Year 10 Netball team's outstanding teamwork and skill led to excellent results, making us very proud. Furthermore, our Year 7 students had a wonderful residential trip to Sheringham, creating lasting memories.

We celebrated Diwali, observed Remembrance Day, and actively participated in Parliament Week discussions, highlighting our commitment to a diverse and thoughtful curriculum.

As we approach the run-up to Christmas, we look forward to sharing the festivities with you.

Mr Alan Whelpdale,

Headmaster
