A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
It was so lovely to see so many cakes and sweet treats at the sixth form table at our bake sale on Tuesday. Our Sixth Formers raised £192.36 and have donated their funds to the Evie Dove foundation. Year 12 students have now had the enrichment assembly and have made their choices. Their first enrichment session will take place on Wednesday 11 October. Congratulations to Nicole B in 12NSI who has won an Arkwright Engineering Scholarship and will be sponsored by Haribo throughout her A-Levels. An Arkwright Engineering Scholarship is the most esteemed scholarship of its type in the UK, designed to inspire students to pursue their dreams and change the world as outstanding engineers of the future. Last year, in the run-up to her GCSEs, Nicole took part in a rigorous selection process that involved many rounds. She will now benefit from Financial Aid, Mentoring, Exclusive Events, and networking opportunities. There will be a Sixth Form Open Evening on Thursday 19 October, we are looking for volunteers for each subject to help out. If any Year 12 students want to help out in a particular subject, please can they let their teachers know. As part of their enrichment lesson, we have organised speakers to attend and address our Science students as part of their curriculum support prior to university life. We would therefore encourage all students hoping to study any science related field to attend these talks. We believe these will help you gain an understanding of ethical conundrums in science and how it affects legal protocols.The next talk will take place on 4 October where Professor David Holt, Upper Warden from the Worshipful Company of Firefighters will discuss Laboratory Medicine and Drug Development.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
This book is written from the perspective of Charlie through letter entries, following him and his friends through their challenging navigation through high school and life. It’s a moving and honest story.
