LOOKING AHEAD
Ambition | Independence | Responsibility Welcome to the first Looking Ahead for this academic year! And what a year it has been so far: packed with a plethora of different experiences, which have ranged from embarking on new subjects and courses for the Year 12, to grappling with UCAS applications for Year 13. We have been delighted to see new faces amongst the pupils, who have fitted seamlessly into the fabric of the school and community. The Sixth Form Centre has been vibrant with happy conversations, and lots of singing and dancing at break and lunchtimes too! On a personal note, I would like to thank Mrs. Young for her hard work and utter dedication in the first half of term, as she guided so caringly both pupils and myself into the academic year. Since becoming Acting Head of Sixth Form, I have been thrilled to be able to work with so many pupils, and am proud of their positive approach to life in the Sixth Form! The Autumn term is long full of academic and personal challenges, and as Christmas now approaches, we are able to pause for a moment and reflect on how far we have come and what is yet to happen. Well done to everyone for their hard work and perseverance, and wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Best wishes, Dr Bowdrey bowdrm@malvernstjames.co.uk
