Headmaster's Blog - 1 December 2020

This week we welcome year 11 students back from their self-isolation and study leave period to complete, what we are calling, their Year 11 CAG examinations.  These examinations will not only be the first real test for Year 11 following the long period of lockdown, they will also act as a big piece of evidence that we may use if we are in a similar position as this year.  Good luck boys.  It is nice to have you back.

Last Friday, Jon Sopel, the BBC North America Correspondent was involved in a video-call from Washington D.C. with three of our students. Jon Sopel is internationally-renowned; he has recently been covering the U.S. Election, making visits to the White House, and appears on TV regularly. He has interviewed the President on numerous occasions and is also the author of two brilliant books. Chris Haywood, Ellie Breeze and Liam Turner, all of Year 13, enjoyed asking questions on the students’ behalf, with their call being recorded and later broadcast to the rest of the school at a later date. This was an amazing opportunity for all, and thank you to the students who made all of the arrangements.
