Year 11 Celebration Assembly: A Fond Farewell

The Sports Hall was filled with excitement on Thursday 19th June as our school community came together for a memorable celebration to bid farewell to our incredible Year 11 pupils at their special Celebration Assembly.

Mr. Forden, Head of Year 11, opened the assembly and said ‘it has been a great pleasure to get to know this cohort and lead such a fantastic year group. Each and every pupil has worked hard, had a positive impact and I am certain will grasp every opportunity that they are presented with.’ He finished by saying ‘the only person that can stop you, is you!’ which left a lasting impression amongst the pupils.

The sentiment was agreed by Mr Blanchenot, Headteacher, who added ‘as my first year as Headteacher, I couldn’t have asked for a better group of individuals. Thank you. I wish you all the best in your next endeavours personally and academically.’  

Form Tutors then took turns sharing personal messages, recounting memorable moments and expressing their appreciation for the special bonds formed over the years. Mr Knight stole the show by rapping lyrics specific to his form group, something our pupils and teachers will never forget! 

At the end of the Celebration Assembly the students were treated to ice-cream and cake and got the chance to sign shirts. All the students conducted themselves exceptionally. We wish them all the success in the future.

Teachers are looking forward to seeing the Year 11s at their prom on Friday 4th July and at GCSE results day on Thursday 21st August.
