Welcome

Welcome to your sixty-second update! As Year 11 and 13 start their exams we take this moment to say how very proud we are of them, and how ready they are for this big moment in their lives. We've had yet more success in the UK Maths Challenge with Gold, Silvers and Bronzes across years 9, 10 and 11. Our Year 12 Brilliant Club cohort have graduated, completing their journey with a visit to Balliol College, Oxford University. There is double celebration in the PE faculty as Year 9 boys football won the County Cup, and Year 10 boys football won the County Plate. A fantastic achievement by both teams. Rehearsals are underway for Oakleaf's performing arts show, supported by our Year 12 students, our new Senior Student Leadership team had their first meeting, our Year 8 came third overall in the Scholars' Trust Cup, LEGO club have been at the fairground, our Head Students represented us at the Victory in Europe event in town, and it is time for Year 11 to see for themselves why our Sixth Formers feel they Belong at out Sixth Form taster days, on the 25th and 26th June.
