Newsletter 16.05.25

Next week is exam week. Please help your child be as prepared as possible by ensuring they’ve had a good breakfast—or encourage them to arrive early for our free breakfast at school—have all the correct equipment, and are getting plenty of sleep throughout the week. These exams are designed to help us understand what students know and what they still need to work on. Full preparation is key to a successful week.

Thank you to all our Year 7 parents who attended the pastoral evening last night. Our staff really enjoyed speaking with you, and we hope you feel well-informed and confident about your child’s transition into Year 8.

It’s been a packed and exciting week beyond the classroom as well! We are now proud to say we are Borough Sports Champions—a fantastic achievement. Our students have also enjoyed a wide range of enrichment activities, including a visit to the Globe Theatre, a trip to Borough Market, and competing in a swimming gala. There is more information in the newsletter.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

Mrs Larizadeh
