Congratulations to the Class of 2026 and Exciting times ahead

Congratulations to all our Year 11 students today upon the completion of the last GCSE exam.  You have shown tremendous tenacity and commitment to your studies over the last few weeks and months.  Well done - we are proud of you.

We are excited about the next stage of your educational journey which will start in less than 2 weeks time with our Year 12 Taster Days (Tuesday 30th June at Houlton and Wednesday 1st July at Ashlawn.)  You should have received an invitation to this event last week - please check your spam folder and if you cannot find this,  please get in touch.

We are delighted with the collaboration we have in place now between our 2 sixth forms giving you a broader and varied range of subjects to choose from and offering a wider range of enrichment opportunities. Our committed sixth form staff across both schools have been working hard together over the last few months to create high quality learning resources.  Many courses are offered at both schools and a few courses are taught at one or the other school whereby you will be at that school for that day.  If this affects you,  we will be in contact with you over the next 2 weeks before the Taster Day to talk you through how this will work for you. 

We are excited about our collaboration and the breadth and depth opportunities and support this will bring you and we very much look forward to welcoming you to both our sixth forms on Tuesday 30th June and Wednesday 1st July.

For now,  enjoy a well deserved rest and once again congratulations to the class of 2026!
