Following the sad announcement of the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday 8 September 2022 the school offers its thoughts and condolences to the Royal Family.

The school will be marking this historic and solemn occasion with a moment of silence. Over the coming days we will offer students the opportunity to record their memories and condolences, should they so wish and staff will cover the historical and cultural importance of her reign.

Support will also be offered to students should they find the news upsetting.

The school will be closed on Monday 19 September (bank holiday and day of her majesty's funeral), as a mark of respect.
