We were thrilled to welcome back our Year 11s to celebrate their end of compulsory schooling in our Leavers Assembly – there are so many of them that we are incredibly proud of so seeing them was a real boost for everyone.
The assembly included a series of embarrassing photos, celebratory videos, in-jokes, performances and there was even a tear or two as well.
