Dear Parents,

I hope you all enjoyed a restful and enjoyable half-term break.

The first few weeks back have been full of activity, including our Sixth Form Taster Day and Year 6 and 7 Taster Day, which gave prospective students an exciting glimpse into life at Leicester High.

We also celebrated Cultural Day, highlighting the wonderful diversity of our School community, and held a special assembly to celebrate Diwali bringing everyone together to learn about and enjoy this important festival. On top of that, we’re so proud of our pupils who took to the stage at the Curve Theatre, performing brilliantly in the Shakespeare Schools Festival.

Meanwhile, our girls have been busy enjoying sporting fixtures, showing great teamwork and determination.

The recent snowfall has brought a touch of winter magic to our grounds, reminding us that the end of term is just three weeks away – time is flying!

Mr Alan Whelpdale,

Headmaster
