Taking part in this walk, in memory of Anne means a lot to us. Walking together as a year group, we hope to create a space where stories are shared and memories are honoured. Every step taken on the morning is a tribute and every donation will help us make a difference. All are welcome to join us on the walk, donate or both. However, for us it is not just about raising money – walking into the dawn on the 9th May, we hold the glow of our shared memories of Anne, and in the warmth of sunrise her spirit walks beside us.

While here they completed their CAT4 Testing & also sampled some subject taster sessions as well as a tour of the school given by current 1st Year & TY students. All students got to experience a Home Ec, PE & Tech Graph class and came away with some delicious treats and got to experience how the school day unfolds. A great day was had by all, and we look forward to welcoming them again when the 2026-2027 year begins.
