Our annual Founder’s Day was another tremendous success!
The performances throughout the event were of an exceptionally high standard, and every student who took part should be immensely proud of what they achieved. 🎻✨
Founder’s Day remains one of the most important events in our school calendar, reminding us that strong communities are built by remembering those who have shaped them.
This year, we dedicated Founder’s Day to the memory of Fabian Henry, who tragically passed away this time last year. We were honoured to welcome Fabian’s family to join us.

🎉 Readathon Success! 🎉
We’re thrilled to celebrate the end of our Readathon, which saw an amazing turnout from students across the school! It’s been fantastic to see so many pupils getting involved, reading widely, and supporting such a great cause.
We’ll be sharing more details very soon, including the total number of books read, the amount raised, and, of course, the winning house. 🏆
There’s still time to sponsor our readers and help us raise even more! Every contribution makes a real difference. You can sponsor here:

Readathon Week: 22–26 June 📚✨
We’re excited to be taking part in this year’s Readathon from Monday 22nd June to Friday 26th June! During the week, students are encouraged to read as much as they can – anything they enjoy. They don’t need to finish entire books – every page and every minute of reading counts.
Students will receive sponsorship forms, and can log reading completed at school, on the bus, at home, or anywhere they choose. Anything raised will go to Read For Good, an amazing cause that supplies children in hospital with books and storytelling.
To create a focused reading environment, the library will be open at lunchtime exclusively for Readathon participants during this week. There will be no chess or computer use at this time, just a dedicated space for students to enjoy reading.
Let’s get reading and make every page count! 📚

An excellent day at the Debate Mate Cup at Northeastern University this term! 🎤
With only one prepared debate and just 10 minutes to prepare the other two, our Year 8–10 students showed impressive thinking on their feet. Sophisticated debating, confident speeches and outstanding teamwork throughout. We’re incredibly proud of them 👏
