Alongside Mr Chalmers, Mr Leadbitter and Mr Croft, I had the pleasure of watching presentations from eight Year 12 teams, who pitched their business plans in the hope of being chosen to represent our school in the Youth Enterprise Challenge. Any of the groups could have been selected; all had worked very hard and had some great ideas. After lengthy deliberation we chose a Year 12 team, “Unity for Orange” comprising Kiki Chen, Shreya Yelamarthi, Danial Azam, Matthew Fong, Joshua Bontemps and Sofia Amin. The team recently attended the launch event and have been in contact with NatWest mentors who will be working with them over the course of the project and other schools taking part

I would like to start by wishing all students, parents and carers a joyful, safe and healthy holiday season and a very happy and peaceful New Year.
