Thought For The Day – Monday 15th May 2023 

Today Year 13 have their important final assembly.  We are very grateful to Year 13 for all they have done in their time at the school, from students who were with us from Years 7 to 11, or students who joined during that brilliant time with Dr. Cooke-Woods and his tutor team, to the students who joined to the school in the sixth form to greatly enhance us further.  Thank you to your previous schools.

A special mention to all the girls who joined TBSHS and lead the way. The girls’ rugby team was groundbreaking and historic, for example. We are not, and never will be, “the boys’ high”.  The picture above shows female leadership and male support.

Whether it was;  in lessons, on open evenings, on the sports field, on the stage, in concerts and performances, in debating, in community and charity work,  in local, national and international educational visits, in the plethora of other extra-curricular activities, in your university and careers work, with always impressed guest visitors, in times of happiness and in times of challenge,  all Year 13 students modelled “The Black and Gold Spirit” of commitment, aspiration, respect, integrity and community.

Thank you to Mr. Munro, the Senior and Sixth Form Management Teams, all your tutors, all staff in every area of the school past and present, especially, of course, for his massive contributions, Mr. Stark,  This is a good time to mention your primary schools too. Never forget your roots. TBSHS will always be your school.

As always, thank you to your wonderful and inspirational families and parents.

The sixth form are the student leaders of the school community and,  whilst you were grateful for the opportunities you received,  and took seriously your responsibility to make the most of them,  we are very grateful and blessed you all choose to continue your education at TBSHS. Good luck in your examinations.

Every individual is a unique, special, treasured and valued person. Together you made up a team and a legacy. You made memories.  Thank you very much indeed, in form order, to:
