A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 11
A big welcome back to everyone, it was wonderful to see everyone’s cheery faces refreshed and rejuvenated from the summer break. I have been really impressed by how smart all the students look and that they have got stuck right into their studies. A particular thanks to the Year 7 Prefects who came into school a day early just to help out new Year 7 students settle in. Well done to Anya who represented Great Britain in Basketball this summer in Konya, Turkey. The team finished 3rd out of 20 teams and were therefore promoted to Division A for next year’s tournament. Well done to Camilla C PRE, Neuza EM SHO and Hasna B FJA who have taken an early lead on the ePraise leader- board this term. Just a reminder that the year 11 mock exams, although many weeks away, will start on 4 November. This will be two days in school when the rest of the school are off. This will allow the students some tranquillity for their first experience of lining up and being in the real exam hall at their desks. Next week on Wednesday 18 September we will have the final set of school photographs for our cohort. Please can we ask that you help support us upholding the uniform policy of no fake eyelashes and minimal makeup. Thank you in advance for your support.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
A feminist, LGBT reimagining of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, this novel gives a back story and humanity to the soulless vampire women in the original novel, exploring where they might have come from and their lives before. It follows the lives of seventeen-year-old Lil and her twin sister Kizzy, when they are captured and enslaved by the cruel Boyar Valcar, taken far away from their beloved traveller community. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys a gothic, tense story.
