As the holidays commence I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday and to thank eveyone for their commitment and patience during a very strange academic session.  We have all had to adapt very quickly and I have been so impressed with our young people and their commitment to learning and to our school community; they have done themselves, their families and our school community very proud.  Thank you to them for making our job so much easier.

We are very much  looking forward to seeing our young people again in August and kicking off academic session 2020-21. In the mean time, on behalf of the faculty, I wish to thank you all and we hope you have a happy, safe (and sunny) holiday !

Mrs Burton.
