Headteacher’s End of Year Message
16.07.2020 // Community
We’ve made it to the end of the most extraordinary school term any of us have ever experienced. When we came back to school in September 2019, who could possibly have thought that the academic year would end like this. As a school and as individuals we have all faced unprecedented challenges and have had to adapt and learn to live our lives in completely different ways. We have suffered sadness, tragedy and loss but, amongst all this, we have also seen the very best in people. I really believe that we, as a school, will come through this time as a stronger, better, more cohesive community.
