A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 13
I would like to start by praising all early entry applicants for submitting their UCAS applications in good time, as this has now allowed us to submit them to UCAS on time prior to the set deadline. I would like to wish them all good luck with their applications.
The Sixth Form Netball team played in the U18 Borough netball tournament on Wednesday afternoon. With 6 games to play, the students showed excellent teamwork and versatility as we rotated combinations of players. The team played exceptionally well and came 4th overall. Huge thanks to Sara Morton for sponsoring their new Netball kit - the students looked absolutely fantastic on court!
Next Wednesday, as part of the enrichment session, the Year 13 Science students have been invited to attend a talk, which will be led by Dr Tony Fox, who is the Chair of the London Hospital Ethics Committee.
Next Thursday, as part of our Sixth Form open evening, we will be welcoming to the school the prospective Year 12 students alongside their parents and carers. A large number of Year 13 students will be involved as part of this event. I would really like to thank them all in advance for their assistance and support during that event.

Significant Black Figure of the Week
Meet Trailblazer Candice Carty-Williams
She became the first black author to win book of the year at the British Book Awards.
Before writing her first novel she worked in publishing where she noticed how few people of colour there were writing and publishing books. So she took action and created the Guardian and 4th Estate BAME Short Story Prize, to improve the diversity of the publishing world “I am proud yes but I’m also sad and confused that I’m the first black AND female author to have won this award since it began,” she continued. “Overall, this win makes me hopeful that although I’m the first, the industry are waking up to the fact that I shouldn’t and won’t be the last.”
