A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
I have been delighted to meet my new year group, they are all extremely enthusiastic and eager to learn. Last Tuesday, they all had their induction day, which I am certain they all found very useful. They had the opportunity to meet with the rest of the students in their form, as well as familiarise themselves with the rules and procedures of our Sixth Form. As a reminder, if students wish to change courses, they have to make sure that they arrange to meet with me no later than Friday 20 September. After that date, changes won’t be possible. We look forward to welcoming the parents and carers of the Year 12 students in the main Hall on Tuesday 17 September, where Mr Bannister and I are going to go through key information that parents and carers should be aware of. The relevant letter was also sent out to parents informing them of this event last week.
MR STAVROU, HEAD OF YEAR 12
BOOK OF THE MONTH
Educated by Tara Westover
“My life was narrated for me by others. Their voices were forceful, emphatic, absolute. It had never occurred to me that my voice might be as strong as theirs.” Describing her journey from a childhood with her extreme survivalist family in rural Idaho, where she didn’t go to school, to Cambridge and Harvard universities, Westover’s story is moving and shocking. With memorable detail, she describes how she sought to form her own identity as she grew to adulthood and the painful process of learning to trust her own perception of the world, not the warped indoctrination of her father. It’s so interesting to read alongside Megan Phelps-Roper’s memoir Unfollow, which explores similar themes.
