Thank you very much to all staff, students, carers, parents, guardians and governors in every area and dimension of the school  for a wonderful inaugural term in our new school facility.

The many brilliant memories and moments of this term are documented in the marvellous, memorable and meticulous productions of “The Mitre” (thank to Mrs. Miles and Mrs. Radford) and, this morning, “Final Assembly” (thank you to Mr. Griffiths).  

We reflect on what we have learnt in our numerous lessons, the plethora of extra-curricular activities and everywhere in life. 

It really is a credit to everyone that so much has been achieved this term.  An outstanding team approach.

It really is a credit to Mr. Reeve and the leadership and governance of the school, past and present, that this dream and vision of a new school became vivid “Black and Gold” reality.

We know this transition has not been easy and that words do not do all the complexity justice.  Thank you to everyone for their patience, resilience and understanding.  Thank you to the Physical Education Department for their continued flexibility and inspiration this term. Thank you to the local community and all involved in creating, designing and building the new school.

We will reconvene as a community in 2025, ready to humbly do good in the new calendar year.

Dream your dream and work hard to make this a reality and help others on your, and their, journey.

Values apply everywhere.   We hope you have a happy, healthy and safe Christmas and holiday.  Reach out if you need any support.  We compassionately, empathetically and humbly help others, always. Not least because we need help to.  Look after, and check in on,  others.  People, of all ages,  are so very precious and need loved, respected and treasured.  Those we love are always with us and always inspire us.  We look after the environment also.  It is the little things, those seemingly small gestures of kindness, that truly matter.
