Farewells and new beginnings

willcarr2

Its that time of year when we say goodbye to Year 11 and Year 13 as they move on to further and higher education or training and employment. Although this is an enjoyable time for staff and students it's also quite emotional, particularly at Ralph Thoresby where students form a strong attachment to school. Although I've only been here for a relatively short time I will miss both year groups and I've been impressed with the commitment that students have shown to achieving the best they possibly can. All the signs are there that both year groups will return impressive exam results. The farewell assemblies, Year 13 Leavers' Ball and Year 11 Prom promise to be very special occasions.
 
At the same time we are going out to Primary Schools to meet our new Year 7 intake for September 2013. It is a great time to be starting Ralph Thoresby and I know that our new students and families will be incredibly well supported as they take this important step. We've met a number of parents in recent weeks and received very positive feedback about the atmosphere around school and the progress we're making with student achievement. It is always a pleasure to meet prospective parents and I would encourage anyone who is considering applying to us in September to visit the school.
 
With sports days, performances and a number of exciting educational visits (France, Year 9 camp etc) still to come it promises to be another fantastic term.
