Neurodiversity Week n Ms Olusanya and Nick Black (the

School Vice Captain from Year 12) kicked off the week with a brilliant assembly, which repeated a great talk that Nick had given during Neurodiversity Week about his ADHD. He delightfully talked about his journey, from arriving in Year 10 as a boarder from Singapore and finding the transition and expectations difficult. These were related to his ADHD. But, over time, he has progressed from being in trouble and having low effort grades to getting superb GCSEs and being elected to be a School Vice Captain (as well as playing lots of football). He was a real inspiration for the boys.
