One of the highlights of my job is welcoming pupils into my office when they’re eager to share the fantastic work they’ve been doing. Today, I had the pleasure of reading a powerful and dramatic short story written by Ivy Stevenson, which showed great imagination. I also enjoyed a wonderful conversation with Poppy Dobson, who confidently explained the key functions of the components inside a computer — I was so impressed by her knowledge!

Macmillan Coffee Morning

We were delighted to welcome so many of you to our Vocational Centre on Thursday. A huge thank you to our wonderful staff team for their fantastic baking, and to our sixth form students who impressed us all with their excellent manners and attentiveness in looking after our guests. Most importantly, thank you for your incredible generosity in supporting such a worthwhile cause!
