Farewell<br />
to<br />
Year 11<br />
On<br />
Thursday 4th July <strong>2019</strong>, year 11<br />
celebrated their final days as GCSE<br />
students in style with a wonderful evening event<br />
followed by a glamorous and glitzy prom. Huge<br />
numbers of parents and students came to receive<br />
their Awards and were treated to excellent<br />
entertainment courtesy of Odyssey, the Year<br />
10 band, and Michael Nunez, who wowed the<br />
audience with his incredible performance of “Let<br />
Her Go “by Passenger.<br />
As their Head of Year, it was my opportunity to<br />
give students some sound advice as they venture<br />
into the next stage of their education, as they<br />
embark on their Post 16 studies at <strong>Cranford</strong> in<br />
September. You can see some extracts below.<br />
Following the school celebration the students<br />
went to the Riverside for an excellent evening of<br />
photos, dancing, eating and more photos. A great<br />
time was had by all.<br />
Aaron Sohi (Head of Year 11)<br />
The<br />
past 5 years have come and gone, it seems,<br />
in the blink of an eye. The energetic,<br />
eager and enthusiastic faces I saw before me have<br />
melted away and been replaced by the serious faces of<br />
young adults, eager to start making their own choices,<br />
paths and, inevitably, mistakes. For now, you have a<br />
hopefully relaxing summer ahead of you.<br />
This is a day of celebration of your achievements,<br />
and rightly so. Over the past 5 years you have worked<br />
harder than any other group of students I have known.<br />
From day one you approached your education with<br />
the right attitude and I have no doubt that, on results<br />
day, you will get the reward your hard work deserves.<br />
Your success is not only a product of your own<br />
endeavour. It has been the result of 16 years of<br />
support, structure and sacrifice. Who you are and<br />
what you achieve is the result of the sacrifices your<br />
parents made; you may not see those sacrifices now,<br />
but given time you will. The success you achieve is<br />
how you thank them; the strength of character and<br />
the positive traits and the morality you display is how<br />
you thank them.<br />
The learning community, the staff and students,<br />
first at primary and then at secondary school, also<br />
supported the achievement and success you will enjoy.<br />
Please don’t forget what has been done to help you:<br />
the teachers who gave up weekends, evenings and<br />
holidays, to provide you with opportunities when they<br />
didn’t have to, but wanted to; the people who gave up<br />
a lunch time to help with a problem; the people who<br />
made time to give you a smile, a supportive comment<br />
or a helping hand when you needed it.<br />
The world you are growing into has challenges but I<br />
believe you will change it for the better so, if you might<br />
permit me to give you what I hope is good advice:<br />
1 – Be grateful for all the things you have had, have<br />
and will have. Be grateful for the past 5 years, for<br />
the past 5 months, even if they have been difficult at<br />
times, because they have changed you, and grown you<br />
for the better.<br />
2 – Be brave. Take risks and do things that take you<br />
out of you comfort zone; be the only fully grown adult<br />
in the shallow end of the swimming pool, learning<br />
to swim because you never knew how and, after all,<br />
