Congratulations to all the children who have reached the final of Reigate Speaks. The final will take place on Tuesday evening, and I am very much looking forward to hearing each of the children’s speeches.
As we approach the end of term, there are plenty of festive activities planned for the final week. On Thursday evening, we will be hosting our annual Winter Concert, showcasing a wonderful celebration of music and talent.
Just a reminder that it’s an early finish of 12:05pm on Friday 19th December.
Have a lovely weekend.

We are starting to feel festive at school. The Christmas Trees are up and decorated and this week the Year 7 Food and Nutrition classes have been decorating chocolate yule logs which I and other members of the SLT have had the privilege of judging for the most decorative in each class.
This week was also the finals of the Speed Chess Tournament. I had the honour of presenting the winner, Toby A, with his trophy.
I would like to draw your attention to several school notices in this edition, which highlight upcoming events over the next few weeks.
Have a lovely weekend.

The Year 11 mock exams start after half term. I hope that the Year 11s manage to strike a good balance between revising for their mocks and having some down time during half term so they can come back feeling refreshed.
