Year 7

Year 7 had some time in their Luminary sessions to study in small groups and get organised ahead of a busy few weeks assessment-wise. I am really not exaggerating when I say that they appear to be handling this busy period very well.

We’ve also reminded the girls of our uniform code, which is on page 11 of the diary, to make sure they are looking ship shape every day. The main Year 7 issue is having the correct earrings, and I’d appreciate your support in ensuring that your daughter has plain silver or gold studs or sleepers – and only one in each lobe. I know these things may seem small, but uniform is an important part of creating community and belonging. It’s a way of identifying as part of a team, which is what the Year group needs to be.

This week we also had our first Middle Years assembly of the year, which was a real highlight. These assemblies for Year 6 to Year 9 are usually run by the Middle Years Leaders and our School Vice-Captain (Year 6 to Year 9), Maya Simpson. It’s great for the younger students to see the Year 9 girls in action and hopefully some of our year group are aspiring leaders who will be running these assemblies in a couple of years’ time.
