I would like to start this term’s newsletter by highlighting
how impressed I am with the attitude and effort of our
Year 11 pupils throughout the lead up to their examination
period. The pupils have worked hard and have hopefully
managed to ensure that they are well prepared for their
examinations.

Year 11 Leavers’ Hoodies
Pupils and parents/carers have been sent a Google order
form for hoodies. The cost of a Year 11 Leavers’ Hoodie
this year will be £23.00 - an order form will be shared via
Edulink. Parents/carers will need to pay via ParentPay by
Tuesday, 8th June. Hoodies will be distributed on Leavers’
day on 19th June 2024. There are samples in school for
pupils to try on to ensure they order the correct size.
Congratulations
Congratulations to Amelia in 11H who has had much
success outside school with her dancing. In the last month,
she has won a place to represent England in Apledoorn,
Netherlands in July; she has qualified in all seven solos
at the All England Dance regionals and has successfully
auditioned to compete in the UK Young Dancer 2024
competition in both classical and theatre dance disciplines.
Next academic year, she will be studying at either the
Central School of Ballet or Tring Park School for the
Performing Arts where she has been offered fully funded
places.
I would like to thank all parents/carers for your support and
commitment in ensuring your child reaches their potential.
It has been a challenging two years of GCSE work for the
year group. Hopefully their hard work will be rewarded with
good results in the summer. I am confident that the pupils
are in a strong position, emotionally and academically, as
they move on to their next challenge taking their learning
forwards. They will always have the support of the school
community behind them. Many thanks for your continued
support throughout the past two years.
Wishing you and your families an enjoyable May half
term. I look forward to seeing you all at the Powdermills to
celebrate five years of education within the St Richard’s
community on Wednesday, 19th June.
