Class of 2022 Results
Congratulations to the Class of 2022! These results continue the very strong academic record that 果冻APP has worked collectively to achieve over recent years.

Remembrance Day, 2022
Today we remember those who have served our country in conflicts past and present, Particularly those who left these shores to take up arms in World War 1. The Great War to end all wars sadly failed in that endeavour, but the things we often take for granted - freedom and democracy - were and have been won and defended by the ultimate sacrifice of many. Proudly, the tradition of remembrance is stronger than ever and Remembrance Day remains a vital part of our school heritage each November.
