Head of Secondary's Message

Over the past two weeks, SLT have delivered a series of Parents’ Information Evenings. It has been a real pleasure to see so many of our parents and families attending and engaging positively with the school’s vision, policies and practices. The final Parents’ Information Evening for Year 11 will take place on Thursday 18^th September 2025 at 5pm in school.

We are looking forward to our Secondary Open Evening on Tuesday 16^th September 2025. This event will provide a fantastic opportunity to showcase the excellent work of our students and staff, while warmly welcoming prospective students and their families to experience life at our school.

Our extracurricular clubs have now begun, and it has been wonderful to see so many students signing up and engaging enthusiastically in the wide range of opportunities on offer. These activities not only allow students to pursue their interests and develop new skills, but also play a vital role in fostering character formation and providing valuable opportunities for spiritual growth and reflection.

Finally, we are proud to share that our first cohort of Year 10 students will be completing their Duke of Edinburgh qualifying expedition next Thursday and Friday. We thank Mr Williams and Mr Khabra for coordinating and leading the training sessions with LOPC in preparation for this exciting milestone.

Warm regards

Ms N Kholia
