As we begin this new academic year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the fantastic start made by every pupil and sta member. The energy, ambition, and commitment across our school community have been truly inspiring. We are a school moving forward with great momentum, and I am proud of the purposeful atmosphere that fills our classrooms and corridors.
One of the most meaningful experiences so far has been our recent pilgrimage to Glastonbury. This was far more than a school trip—it was a spiritual journey. Pupils walked in the footsteps of countless pilgrims before them, taking time to reflect, connect with their faith, and grow in understanding. These moments are vital in shaping not just academic success, but character, compassion, and resilience.
It was also wonderful to see so many of you at our Information Evening this week. Your presence sends a powerful message to your children: that their education matters and that we are united in supporting them. For those who were unable to attend, I must say kindly but firmly that your engagement is essential. We understand that life is busy, but your involvement makes a real and lasting difference. Moving forward, we ask that you prioritise these opportunities to connect with us and with your child’s journey.
As we continue to build a strong partnership between school and home, I am reminded of the wisdom found in Proverbs: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
This verse beautifully ties together the themes of spiritual growth, parental guidance, and long-term success.
