Dear FIRSTNAME Welcome to this week's news! Friday, 28th June, 2019 Welcome from the Head of School As we approach the summer break, another busy school year is drawing to a close. Our younger students are preparing to move into the next year group, as our D2 cohort are awaiting the release of the IB Diploma results next week before they head off on the next stage of their educational journey in universities in the UK and abroad. The 2018-19 academic year was filled with many special moments and individual and group achievements.

M1 Acts of Kindness Our Spanish M1 class have reproduced one of the installations they saw in their visit to the Migration Museum. It's related to the topic they have been exploring (physical appearance and cultural stereotypes) and celebrates acts of kindness. It was wonderful to witness the students walking around with such enthusiasm and interacting with many members of the community sharing their kindness.

We only have three days left of school and cannot quite believe how quickly we have got there! Throughout those days we will be saying our goodbyes and the classes will be celebrating their year together. We will also be sending home the End of Year Reports.
Have a great Summer - Mr Parkin
Copies of the students final report cards (M1 - D1) will be available from 5pm on Tuesday, 2nd July through ManageBac. A cover letter will be sent with further details about these report cards.
As it is coming up to the end of term, could students please check the lost property box located in the canteen before the term ends, as there are many coats, jackets and other items of clothing which need to be claimed. Any unclaimed items left over the holidays will be either recycled or given to the Parents' Association for the next used uniform sale.
After completing their unit titled My City, My Environment both M2 Spanish groups will enjoy a fun treasure hunt around Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus in order to know more about this exciting part of London. Students could bring a snack and a bottle of water. The school will cover the cost of a Spanish serrano ham baguette for lunch in the famous shop Casa Manolo. Students on a special food diet could get an equivalent snack in a M&S store nearby. All students need to bring their oyster cards with enough credit to travel to Central London. We are looking forward to this great adventure!
