Headteacher's Trinity Term News

| Mr David Maloney Headteacher |
The examination season is finally coming to an end. Year 11 and Year 13 completed their GCSE and A2 examinations in the middle of June and Year 10 took their internal tests in the week beginning 28 June.
A large number of Year 11 students received their National Record of Achievement certificates at a presentation in the school hall on 24 June before heading off on a Thames cruise to celebrate the end of their exams and to look forward to a bright future.
We are expecting our best ever GCSE results this August as well as some good A2 outcomes. I wish all Year 11 a great summer and look forward to seeing them all on results day and in September.
Years 8 & 9 have chosen their option subjects for the coming year. The school curriculum has been remodelled to provide every student with a progression route through a two year KS3 course followed by a two or three year KS4 curriculum. The aim is to provide every student with a broad range of subjects to study and the opportunity to achieve the best results they can at GCSE and beyond.
As always there has been a wide range of activities and achievements this term for students to enjoy and for you to read about in the latest edition of Unity, our newsletter. Highlights include: the school team came away as winner of the borough athletics tournament; the UWS Foundation schools athletics event; football tour to Belgium; day and weekend trips to France and the GCSE and A2 art exhibitions. We also staged our own talent show with a large number of boys entering the Westminster City School's Got Talent competition which provided a night of great entertainment.
Two Year 11 students, Pranoy Choudhury and Vergil Wong, are heading to South Africa this summer to work on a Cloud Dog charity conservation project and in the autumn half-term 12 sixth formers will travel to Osaka in Japan, courtesy of the Sasakawa Foundation, to experience all aspects of Japanese culture. These are fantastic opportunities which I am confident our students will embrace with enthusiasm.
I wish you all a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you again in the new academic year.
