Good Luck and Farewell

On Wednesday afternoon, Year 13 held their Leavers' Liturgy in the Chapel attended by the Headmaster and members of Staff.

Always an emotional farewell to the leaving cohort, the service was a lovely reflection of the bond formed between these young ladies.  We celebrated their time at the School through prayer, song and humorous anecdotes. 

Having retired to the conservatory for strawberries and bucks fizz the proceedings were brought to a close with the now traditional Headmaster's toast to the students. 

 

 

We wish all our Year 13 the very best of luck with their examinations and look forward to celebrating their success in the summer.
