2026 Year 6 Uniform Orders
Compass Events are now open for the 2026 Year 6 Hoodie and Polos. You have until next Friday, 28th November 2025, to place your orders. Full derails are available in the events, including sizing charts. For queries, don't hesitate to get in touch with the office.
2026 Captains
This morning, all the applicants for the 2026 captain positions read their applications in the gym in front of a panel of Mr Kirkright, Mrs Northridge, Mrs Short, Mr Maxfield and Ms Naval-Thomas. All students demonstrated our school expectations both when delivering their speech and when listening to their peers. It was a fun morning, albeit a little nerve-racking for the students.
Next week, the shortlisting process for our 2026 School Captains will commence, and interviews will be held over the next 2 weeks. Students will be given sufficient notice and will go through an interview process with a panel of leadership and the current 2025 School Captains.
