Today we said goodbye to our year 13 students.

Following years of tradition, they arrived on their last day wearing fancy dress.

Gathering in the Heart at break time, the rest of the school came to see the amazing costumes, headdresses, make-up and props.

If our year thirteens have worked as hard on their exam revision as they did on today's brilliant fancy dress; they thoroughly deserve to get the very highest grades.

Last Friday, as part of a fundraising effort by Teacher Rebecca Austin, students and staff took the opportunity to don the funkiest footwear they could muster. Rebecca is raising much needed funding to support the very special work carried out by the charity Children with Cancer (http://www.childrenwithcancer.org.uk/). The charity was set up in 1987 in memory of brother and sister, Paul and Jean O'Gorman who both fell victim to leukemia within nine months of each other. Since 1988, thanks to the generous support of the public, they have raised over £150 million to help the fight against childhood cancer.

Students at the school made a donation for the privilege of wearing their funky footwear all day. The best footwear was judged at a special cat walk event during lunchtime. The overall winner of was Neuchatel House with a massive effort from all students and teachers.
