She will attend placements as part of this and classes every Sunday over the course of the next year. Rianne intends to make a formal application to the Royal Conservatoire at the end of S6.
Well done Rianne.

It’s been a fantastic year in Cardinal Newman High School!
This last term has afforded many opportunities for our pupils to celebrate their successes in wider achievement and in attainment. I am very grateful to the staff of the school for the outstanding effort they have made for all of our young people.
To our parents and carers I say thank you for your very positive and generous support for all that we do in school. I hope this newsletter gives you a flavour of what this term has been all about!
Best wishes for a restful holiday.
