Caitlin was a bright, popular pupil who was always determined to give her best and to achieve. She was a quiet girl but increasingly a confident young woman and she will be remembered fondly by us all. Caitlin’s passing will leave a real gap in the school which will be very difficult to fill or forget. As a school community we are united in grief and sadness at losing her but there will also be happiness that we got the chance to share part of Caitlin’s short life. Our thoughts and prayers are with Caitlin’s family and friends at this difficult time.
Supported Study will be running from 3.35pm until 4.35pm for the following subjects:
Higher French
Higher English
