A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 13
It has been another busy but enjoyable last week for our year 13 students. Our fashion and art students com- pleted their final pieces and our MFL students were completing their oral examinations. We have been so impressed with how sensible the students have been during these examinations. It was so lovely to see the year 13 students carrying on the tradition of wearing their old school uniforms for their last day and signing each other’s shirts. We had a lovely tea party at break and a photo of the whole year. They had one last tutor time with their tutors and it was enjoyable to walk around and see them playing games during this time. Students will now be on study leave as A level examinations start on Monday 12th May. The exam timetable has been posted on their tutor google classrooms. Students are expected to be punctual for their exams and to have the correct equipment with them. Subject teachers will be available during the time of their usual lessons, if students want to check in before exams or ask for support. We wish them all the best of luck and look forward to celebrating the end of exams and sixth form with them on the 20th June at their leaver’s assembly.
Have a lovely weekend!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
The Island of Missing Trees, Elif Shafak
‘The Island of Missing Trees’ weaves history, memory, and nature into a powerful story of love and loss. Set between war-torn Cyprus and present-day London, it explores the marks conflict leaves on the lives of the characters, with a fig tree entwined through this narrative. Shafak’s storytelling is deeply human, highlighting the pain of displacement and the resilience of identity. This novel is both moving and thought-provoking, poignantly discussing how generational trauma is instilled in our lives today.
