This week is the start of the public examinations. GCSEs began yesterday with RS, and continue for the rest of the week with a number of different subjects including science, mathematics and English. Next week the A Level examinations begin. Good luck to all students in years 11 and 13.
Yesterday Year 12 returned to school following their UCAS examinations. With Year 13 on study leave, Year 12 are now the leaders of the school, so they now have even more of a role to play.
Today the U13 football squad play in the Maidstone District Final. They follow the U15 and U16 squads who played their finals a couple of weeks ago. Good luck to the squad.
