"Most of the exams are coming to an end as I write this and next week will be a more 'normal' week for our senior girls. Now follows a process of analysing the results, especially for the Year 11 pupils who sat mock GCSEs, and putting programmes together for further improvement. We awarded our first ever THRIVE badges this morning in assembly and it was fantastic to recognise the huge talents and impressive achievements of some pupils, particularly in music and sports - areas in which St Nick's girls thrive!
Last night we were fortunate to host a very successful evening for prospective families who we hope will be joining us in September. We were able to impart information about the timetable; range of subjects; trips and activities, as well as answering the questions that pupils and parents had about the school. We are delighted that despite the current challenges to the sector as a whole, our numbers on roll across the school are at an all-time high! The write-up this week in The Farnham Herald, about our ranking in the league tables, has done us no harm!"
