Back to school!

      Welcome to a brand new academic year - our classrooms are already buzzing with activity and expectation!  I have been truly impressed by the creativity demonstrated across all age groups in our NGHS 150 Junior Challenge - the range of skills and passions exhibited has been astounding, and I look forward to confirming the date of our exhibition.  Coupled with seeing girls rising to the challenges of settling into new year groups and working to even higher academic, sporting and pastoral expectations, it has been a real pleasure touring classes during our first eight days back at school. Thank you to every parent who managed to join us for 'welcome meetings' this week too; I look forward to working with you over the coming academic year.

      The Autumn Term promises to be action-packed as usual, with opportunities for girls to shine in lessons, at extra-curricular clubs and on field trips.  As well as new ground-breaking study visits which will be announced shortly,  we have exciting annual staples such as Year 6's recent workshops at Warning Zone, Year 5's imminent two-day residential to Stratford upon Avon, and a huge array of fixtures and concerts.

      This message comes to you with my very best wishes for the Autumn Term.
