Alison Morris, Head of Darwin House, said: “There was really so much to celebrate that it was difficult to fit it all into our Celebration Assembly. I have been particularly proud of the fund-raising initiatives undertook independently by students either for our House charity, Acorns Hospice, or other charities that students have developed a personal attachment to. Our school very much pushes high achievement, but also works to develop a rounder perspective of the world around us so that settling into it post-school life and responsibilities is a lot more straight-forward.”
