As we approach the end of the Autumn term, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we have shared over the past few months. This term has been filled with achievements, personal growth, and a strong sense of community within Britannica. Our students have shown remarkable dedication to their studies. From engaging classroom discussions to impressive project presentations, it has been inspiring to see their enthusiasm for learning. Notably, our Year 11 students diligently prepared for their first Mock Examinations experience, demonstrating resilience and commitment that will serve them well in the future. It has also a busy time for our Year 13 students as they finalise their University applications and I am especially thrilled to see some members of the 6th Form cohort already receiving offers from their chosen universities.

Beyond academics, our ASA programs have thrived this term demonstrating outstanding student engagement. The annual Winter concert was a resounding success, showcasing the fantastic musical talent of our students. Additionally, our sports teams have excelled, these activities not only enrich our students' experiences but also foster teamwork and school spirit. As we prepare for the holiday break, I encourage everyone to take time to relax and recharge. The new year will bring fresh opportunities and challenges, and I am excited to see how our students will continue to grow and excel.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated staff, supportive parents, and most importantly, our wonderful students for a successful term.


Kind Regards,

Anthony O'Brien
