Commemorating the Coronation and Celebrating Student Success
Welcome to the School Blog. In recognition of the Coronation, all students in school were given a commemorative pen this week, courtesy of CAFA. CAFA wanted to mark this historic day with a small, useful memento from which every student could benefit.
In the past year alone, funds have been used to help start a STEM science group, refurbish the counselling room, and fund a Sixth Form trip to a UCAS fair. Our friends at CAFA very much appreciate the assistance they receive and warmly welcome anyone who would like to join the group and offer further valuable support. If you are interested, please follow the link on the school webpage.
Year 8 Parents’ Evening and Study Leave
Attendance at our ~virtual Year 8 Parents’ Evening last night was strong, and many valuable conversations took place. We extend our thanks to every family who works in partnership with us to achieve the best for our students.
Today, Year 12 students begin their study leave. They appear highly motivated and ready to tackle their AS and equivalent exams. Time goes so fast! It is now less than two weeks before Year 11 have their Leaving Ceremony on Thursday, 25th May, and in a fortnight, our Year 13 cohort will also reach the end of their formal school journey. The Year 13 Leaving Ceremony and meal will be taking place on Friday, 26th May.
Although these are official leaving celebrations, please remember that the examination period remains in full flow for the following four weeks, and we are always available to assist our students in every possible way throughout the entire term. Students in Year 11 are understandably extremely excited about their prom on Thursday, 29th June.
Student Achievements
Congratulations to Annabel (Year 13), who has accepted an offer to study at the University of South Florida from August 2024, where she will continue with her golfing and academic studies. What an amazing opportunity and thoroughly well-deserved!
Well done to Erin (Year 7), who won Player of the Tournament at the ENG Netball U12s finals last weekend. Our congratulations also go to Juliet and Brooke (both Year 8), who have been selected for the Flintshire Football U13s squad to play Caerphilly in the National Finals at TNS on 20th May.
Sharing Successes
Please do keep us informed of all successes so that we can celebrate them together.
See you back here soon for the next School Blog!
