Farewell Minibus

This week you will see in the newspapers that our college minibus has gone to join all the other local minibuses in the ACTS pool. This means that our minibus will be better cared for, and hired out by us when we need transport. It also means that the bus will be available to other local users within the ACTS partnership. Our bus was a contribution to integration donated by Royal Mail and the Communication Workers Union. It is a real step forward to have the bus involved full time in cross community work. Brendan Downey of ACTS was presented with the keys today.

Welcome Friederike and welcome back Charlotte

We are particularly pleased to welcome Friederike from Germany for a year in sixth form. It is also great to have Charlotte back from her sixth form year out in Germany. The A level German class will be particularly glad to see them both, and they may well find themselves out teaching our in our primary partner schools.

Special French Success

We celebrate our first year as a Specialist Languages School with fabulous additional results achieved by students across the age range in French: Perrine carried off a GCSE grade A in year 10; our three independent French learners, Tanya, Helen and Niamh all achieved A or A*; Max achieved a grade B in his A level French while still in year 11.
