Thank you Ahmad and Zaarin for your assemblies this week on Ramadan which were insightful. Ramadan Mubarak to all in our community at this time.

So proud of one of our Sixth Formers who presents the Friday Request Show, visiting Colchester's Mersea Ward, talking to patients recovering from operations. She says: 'It's really rewarding to learn how much the patients love hearing their songs and talking about their memories'

Congratulations to Selin for a distinction in her Grade 8 LAMDA. An amazing achievement which also counts as 30 UCAS points!

Two jammed-packed days and one night in boarding for the induction to Sixth Form. Students made a film, a territory map, explored their futures, and got to know each other. So excited to be working with these students and seeing their journeys progress.

Looking back to last week: Heads of School helping each other with their new badges, saying thank you to Amber and Abbie, and the Sixth Form Ball.
