Year 13

Our Year 13 girls have worked hard on their ‘Major’ and ‘Minor’ courses, which have been designed to bridge the divide between A level and undergraduate study. Twenty one different ‘Major’ courses have been delivered covering university subjects such as Computing, History, Business, Architecture, Languages and Pharmacy as well as courses covering Apprenticeships and Art Foundation. The girls have engaged superbly well and have enjoyed a range of different experiences including talks by Old Girls and on-line courses as well as more traditional teaching and discussion. The small, focussed groups have given girls a valuable insight into their chosen subject area and the use of online courses has allowed the girls to become more independent. The Girls have also enjoyed a range of ‘Minor’ courses covering twenty different topics including things such as Beginner’s Italian, First Aid, Personal Finance, Interview Skills, Philosophy and Greek Mythology! We have been delighted by the enthusiasm and resilience shown by our Year 13 students over recent months and wish them well as they move on to their next stage whether that is a gap year, university, apprenticeship or the world of work!

Prefects’ Panto

The 2019 Prefects’ Panto had the whole school in stitches as the Head Girl and her team caricatured members of staff. The show culminated in a fantastic parody of ‘Backstreet’s Back’, re-titled ‘Hincks Is Back’, complete with dance moves! Admission donations went to Women’s Aid.
