A huge welcome to our fantastic Year 7 cohort, what an amazing start they have had to the year. As their Head of Year, I couldn't be more proud of the resilience, determination and willingness to learn they have been displaying, particularly as part of our recent 'Culture Day'. The Year 7 mentors and I cannot wait to see the progress and achievements they make throughout the year.
