A MESSAGE FROM HEAD OF YEAR 12
Well done to all of our Year 12 students for completing the first half term of sixth form. It has been an extremely busy half term and I have been so impressed with how well they have all settled in and it has been lovely to hear about all their achievements and compliments from their subject teachers. We hope they all have a restful break. On Wednesday we were delighted to welcome Professor Fox to speak to our A Level Science students. Professor Fox is the Chairman of the London Research Ethics Committee for the NHS, which means he is the Chair for the whole of England. Professor Fox discussed ethical issues with the students and worked through scenarios with them. All students who attended said the talk was engaging and would be extremely helpful for them when they apply to medical courses next year. Also on Wednesday, twenty of our Year 12 students went on a trip to LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional networking platform. During this experience they were given insights into the corporate world and the chance to explore the inner workings of this renowned tech company, as well as learning plenty of tips for building their own LinkedIn profile. Yesterday we held our Sixth Form open evening event for the prospective Year 12 students. I would like to say a big thank you to the large number of Year 12 students who supported this event. They were all incredible and their assistance and enthusiasm is much appreciated. Looking into the next half term, the Year 12 PCM is set to take place on Wednesday 8 November. All information regarding booking appointments will be sent out in the first week back. I wish everybody a restful half term break and look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday 1 November.

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.
