This half-term, pupils were invited to nominate a member of staff who they felt had made a positive difference to their school experience. We were overwhelmed to receive nearly 200 nominations, with an incredible 91 different staff members recognised by students across the school.
The nominations highlighted the many ways our staff support pupils every day — through kindness, encouragement, humour, patience and excellent teaching. Many pupils took the time to write thoughtful comments about the positive impact staff have had on their confidence, wellbeing and enjoyment of school.

Some of the comments included:
“They always take the time to help me understand when I’m struggling.”
“Always kind and supportive, no matter what kind of day you’re having.”
“Creates a positive environment where we feel comfortable learning.”
Congratulations to everyone who was nominated, and a special mention to Ms Turner, who received the highest number of nominations and has been named our Staff Member of the Half Term.

Thank you to all staff for the care, dedication and commitment you show to our pupils every day.

We want to say how incredibly proud we are of you, Year 11.

You have been outstanding all year long, and now it’s time to walk into that exam hall with confidence and show everyone exactly what you know.

Believe in yourselves, trust in all the hard work you’ve put in, and remember that you are capable of amazing things. Stay calm, give it your best effort, and make yourselves proud — we already are.

Good luck, Year 11 — you’ve got this!

We are incredibly proud to celebrate 9 of our pupils who received Jack Petchey Awards on Monday night at the Queen’s Theatre. It was a fantastic evening, with parents and families joining us to recognise their achievements.

Special congratulations also to our Leader Award winner, Ms Jones.

Well done to all involved – a truly inspiring evening! 

Pupils from schools across Havering have been recognised for their efforts in a Mother’s Day portrait competition, with their winning pieces recently on display at Daniel’s View gallery in The Mercury Shopping Centre.

Actionable Advice for Making the Most of It:

1. Discuss Interests and Future Goals – Think about what subjects fit your strengths and career aspirations.

2. Avoid Peer Pressure – Don’t pick subjects just because friends are taking them, or you like a teacher.

3. Ask About Course Details – Find out about assessment methods, workload, and the skills you’ll develop.

Use tonight to gather all the information you need to make confident, informed choices!
