A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 13
I would like to start by wishing good luck to all our UCAS early applicants. Monday’s deadline has now been successfully met. Further information regarding the outcome of their applications and the next steps will be communicated to them in the coming weeks directly from the Universities. Students need to ensure that they are frequently checking their emails, as this is how the Universities will be contacting them. They should also be logging on to UCAS where they can track the progress of their application. On Wednesday, as part of the enrichment session, our A Level Science students were invited to attend a talk, which was led by Dr Tony Fox, who is the Chair of the London Hospital Ethics Committee. It was an extremely interesting talk and was very well-attended. Yesterday, as part of our Sixth Form open evening, we welcomed to the school the prospective Year 12 students alongside their parents and carers. A large number of Year 13 students were involved as part of this event. I would really like to thank them for their assistance and support during that event. They were all incredible and their enthusiasm is very much appreciated. The first week after half term will be a shorter week, with students returning to school on Wednesday. Nevertheless, it will be a busy week with a trip taking place on Friday 3 November where our A Level Music students will pay a visit to the BBC Symphony Orchestra at The Barbican. Over the course of the next half term, I am expecting to send the bulk of the remaining UCAS applications, so Year 13 students need to continue to work on them and submit them to us in the coming weeks. On a final note, I would like to wish all Year 13 students a restful half term break. They all need to ensure that they split their time off between getting some needed rest, as well as to revise for their mock exams, which are due to start on Monday 13 November.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Significant Black Figure of the Week
Meet Nicola Adams:
Trailblazer Nicola made history as the first woman to win the Olympic gold medal for boxing. She was also the first openly LGBT boxer to win a medal. Up until 2012, the Olympics didn’t allow women to compete in boxing, so Nicola was fighting stereotypes to earn her place in the ring. She went on to win the gold in London 2012 and Rio in 2016. Always a trailblazer, Nicola didn’t stop making history when she stopped boxing. She took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, breaking boundaries as the first same-sex couple to dance on the show. Biographical documentary ‘Lioness: The Nicola Adams Story’ examines Nicola’s life spent fighting fierce competitors, prejudice and adversity and her determination to never give up.
