As we approach the summer holidays I want to start by thanking you all for all you have been doing during these difficult and challenging times – it is quite remarkable to think of the resilience and energy that has been demanded of everyone this term – and the work you have been engaging with to make things as positive as possible. Thank you, to you and to all your families. All the events, activities and achievements in this term’s Summatim are even more impressive as they took place when the school was mostly closed and reflects the hard work, talent and determination of our students alongside the constant support of parents, governors and a committed and dedicated staff.

Senior Prefect Team 2020 - 2021
18 outstanding young men and women were put through a daunting process involving student votes, staff votes and an interview with the Headteacher, the Director of Sixth Form and their Head of Year. The interview panel were extremely impressed by the high quality of all those on this final shortlist. Warmest congratulations to joint Captains of School: Rose Hind and Joshua Selfridge, with Vice Captains: Ayomide Akande, Sheena Akende, Georgia Higgins, Srikar Namireddy, William Song, Mitra Stainsbury and Ishkaar Ujoodia.
Students’ Return to School It was a real pleasure to welcome Year 10 and 12 students back to school for sessions in a full range of subjects. It was wonderful to see them back in school enjoying socialising again with their year as well as going over the work they should have covered during the lockdown period.
Year 12 also went through all the information needed to complete their UCAS applications. Under normal circumstances, this would be a very busy day in school with a variety of speakers from different universities, but this was not possible this year. Thank you again to all the parents for supporting your child and the school during the return period.
Everyone at school is now planning, reflecting, organising, communicating, adjusting, reshaping and responding in preparation for the full return of school in September. We look forward to seeing smiles and hearing laughter across all year groups when the new academic year commences. Although things will be different, with talk about bubbles, social distancing and handwashing, what I do know is that the values of our School will continue to shine through all our endeavours.

Summer Term 2020 – in this issue:
University Offers
This has been a record year for students’ successes in Medical related courses. 48 students have gained Medical, Dentistry or Veterinary Science offers. This is very impressive and congratulations to the students for their hard work in preparing for their interviews. 38 of these offers are for Medicine, which we should be very proud of in this current climate and continues the impressive number of Olavians who have entered the profession. This is alongside all of Year 13 who must be congratulated for their excellent work on their applications and gaining their offers across a wide variety of courses.
