A New Chapter Begins

As the new school year gets underway, I would like to take a moment to congratulate the students who sat their entrance exams last year and have now begun their first term at their new schools. This is a wonderful milestone, and it is the result of a great deal of hard work, perseverance, and determination.

​

Preparing for these exams requires commitment not only from the children themselves but also from the families supporting them, and it has been a privilege to watch those efforts pay off. I am immensely proud of everything they achieved and the positive, resilient attitude they brought to their studies.

​

I have loved seeing the photographs parents have shared of the children proudly wearing their new school uniforms, and it is a joy to know they are settling in so well. I would be delighted to receive more updates and to hear how they are getting on as the year unfolds.

​

The start of this academic year marks an exciting new chapter. As they settle into new routines, make new friends, and embrace fresh challenges, I wish them every success and happiness. Their achievements serve as an encouragement to all my current students as they embark on their own journey through the year ahead.

Why Mock Exams Matter After our recent mock exam session last Sunday, I was reminded again of just how valuable these experiences are for children preparing for 7+, 8+, 11+, GCSEs and beyond.
