Firstly, a massive well done to everyone involved in the summer show at the Playhouse, we’re sure you will agree the students were all fantastic, they were superstars both onstage and backstage. A big thank you must also go to all the parents, chaperones and helpers; without you it would not be possible to put on a full school performance.
Our heartfelt thanks and love go to Miss Moseley for her years of dedication to the school, we wish her a very happy retirement. We hope that she can now enjoy spending more time with her family and doing lots of exciting things.
A warm welcome to all our new students, it was lovely to meet you all this week, we look forward to getting to know you and watching you fulfill your potential. We hope that everyone has enjoyed being back in class and is looking forward, as much as we are, to the year ahead. Lots of exciting things in the pipeline... watch this space!
