From the Headmistress

Well done, Year 12! We are all absolutely delighted to see your fabulous results. As the saying goes, “the harder you work the luckier you get”. You demonstrated that perfectly. You worked consistently and collaboratively all year, and can now enjoy the benefits that hard work brings. Enjoy the summer, and thank you for the fabulous contribution you made to the life of the school.

Thank you also to our team of teachers and support staff, who are unstinting in their encouragement, challenge and support of the girls. You are an integral part of their success, and I am grateful for your professionalism and dedication.

I wish you all a happy Christmas and New Year, and a successful and fulfilled future.

Dr Julie Townsend
