It is always a bittersweet moment when we say goodbye to our Year 11 students, and this year's send-off was no exception.

On the day of their final exam together, staff lined up to give our Year 11s a memorable farewell. To the uplifting sounds of S Club's classic Reach for the Stars, students were applauded through our now traditional balloon arch as they made their way to the exam hall for one last time as a year group. 

Once the exam was over, the celebrations began. Students gathered to sign each other's shirts, creating lasting memories and plenty of keepsakes from their school days. Some shirts had clearly been the focus of a lot of creativity and effort, with glitter, decorations and plenty of bling making them stand out from the crowd!

To mark the occasion, every student enjoyed an ice cream before heading off to begin a well-earned summer break. Although it was time to say goodbye for now, it was certainly not the end of the celebrations.

The Class of 2026 reunited in style for their Prom at The Queen's Stand, Epsom Racecourse. Students arrived looking absolutely spectacular, dressed to impress and ready to celebrate the end of an important chapter in their lives. It was wonderful to see everyone enjoying the evening and making more memories with friends and staff.

We are incredibly proud of everything our Year 11 students have achieved and the resilience, determination and character they have shown throughout their studies. We wish them the very best of luck with their exam results and all the opportunities that lie ahead.

We look forward to welcoming them back on 20 August when they collect their results and celebrate their successes. Good luck, Year 11 - keep reaching for the stars!
