A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 10
We are now back for our final half term of this academic year. There have been lots of school trips for Year 10 recently, including abroad trips to Paris and Germany as well as Geography field trips going on this week. A group of Year 10 students were also selected to buddy up with our Taiwanese students who are with us for this week through our partner school. They are attending classes with Year 10 enabling them to gain experience of what a UK school is like. Well done to all of the Year 10 students who have been so welcoming and helpful to our visitors. Before half term we selected our new house captains. Well done to all of the students that applied for this. It was an incredibly hard decision and all the Year 10s that applied should be very proud of themselves. Congratulations to our new house captains for next year: Megan C, Ava S, Jasmine G, Matilda T, Isabelle E, Siyana C, Holly C, Pia H, Rosalie ST, Imogen C, Mia W, Imogen B, Betty J, Ugochi A, Betty J, Alexa M and Grace HJ. The application process for Head Girl will be starting shortly. We encourage all of our students to come to school wearing the correct uniform. To support students to make the correct choices around this, uniform detentions are now being given during lunchtimes for those not wearing the correct uniform. These take place between 12:30 - 12:50 allowing students time to get lunch afterwards. A reminder that Year 10 should be wearing their lanyards at all times. Thank you for your support with this at home. Year 10 exams are from Monday 16th - Friday 27th June. The week after that will be work experience. Have a lovely weekend!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
‘Things a Bright Girl Can Do’ by Sally Nicholls
Set in the early twentieth century, this novel follows three brave young women as they all become involved in the Suffragette movement. I loved how Nicholls brought the time period to life, showing what it felt like to be a woman and girl during that turbulent time. But if historical novels aren’t usually your thing, don’t be put off. It feels really modern and fresh, exploring issues like class differences as the three main characters come from different backgrounds. There is also a beautiful love story between two of the characters. It has something for everyone!
