The evening was a joyful reflection of the hard work, character, and commitment shown by our students, and it was wonderful to see so many proud family members in attendance.
Mr Bowler opened the evening with a warm welcome, followed by an inspiring speech from Emily Clifford, a member of our Sixth Form Head Team. Emily shared her personal journey, reflecting on how the foundations for her success were laid during KS3. Her words resonated deeply, reminding us all of the importance of perseverance, self-belief, and embracing every opportunity.
