We have enjoyed a week of normal lessons this week. The girls have been receiving some of their results from their exams and whilst there is much to celebrate, I hope the girls will reflect on how they have done and are now aware of areas to work on. The weeks before the end of term will be full or action and fun, but lessons will continue and there will be important topics covered, particularly in Year 10 and Year 12.
 
It was lovely to see so many girls and parents at the Girls' Sports Dinner last Friday. It was an inspiring and uplifting evening and really showcased the strength of Girls' Sport at the school and culture that has been embedded. Well done to all prize winners and those who have represented the school this year.
 
We enjoyed the Year 8 pizza social on Wednesday evening – thank you to the Sixth Form Prefects who helped. The girls seemed to have a lovely time getting covered in flour and having fun together! We look forward to the Year 9 Pizza Social on Thursday 27th June – the girls will need to bring in £5 by Friday 21st June.
