Our pupils have again, this academic year, risen to the challenges presented to them by the global pandemic. We had to adapt almost all our practices to make the activities our pupils were engaging in Covid secure, meaning that year group bubbles, social distancing and adapted sports rules were the order of the day. Once again, staff and pupils demonstrated great flexibility, resilience, and resourcefulness to ensure that there was challenge within the co-curriculum. The pupils

engaged in all that was offered to them from single year group choirs, five different drama groups, new Ready 4 Rugby laws to understand, and all with uncertainty as to what would happen next. Once again, the majority of the Spring Term was spent in lockdown and staff did all they could to motivate, encourage and inspire from afar, offering virtual after school clubs, podcasts, and guest speakers. The Summer Term returned to some form of normality, and, despite the sometimes
inclement weather, our pupils were back out representing College at sport, performing at plays and concerts, attending CCF parades and going on DofE expeditions. Our aim is always to challenge and, whilst realising that there may be bumps in the road, we hope our pupils leave with a sense of purpose, resilience, and determination from all they have engaged with outside the classroom.
