A Message from Principal, Mr Martin
This week, a record number of students attended our Sixth Form Open Evening, Year 11 tutor evening and careers convention. We have held these three events on the same evening for a number of years; the evening is designed to provide our students, and external students, the opportunity to talk to as many people as possible about their future plans. The careers exhibitors were full of praise for our students and stressed how much they enjoyed talking to young people about their aspirations and ambitions. These events take an enormous amount of time and effort to organise and I would like to thank the careers and Sixth Form team for all their hard work in planning such a successful evening. For more information about applying to our Sixth Form please visit our website.
Over the next few weeks we have our Year 11 & 13 mock exams. This will provide our students with a fantastic opportunity to assess their strengths and weaknesses; build their examination stamina; test their revision strategies and experience exam conditions. We wish them the very best of luck!
The rehearsals for the pantomime Sleeping Beauty, and Performing Arts Showcase are progressing well and tickets are already on sale. The set designers and technical team are working hard on the lights and staging. Please see below for details and how to purchase your tickets.
We’ve had some great results in sport this week, in rugby, football and basketball. Please see below for details.
Please note that the BEST Academic Calendar for 2022-23 has been updated to include the additional May Bank Holiday for the King’s coronation, this can be found on our website please click here.
Finally, last Friday we had our joint Remembrance Day, with staff and students from RBA, Shefford Lower School and BEST, which included over 3000 people. It was a truly wonderful event and very moving to see students of all ages coming together across the three schools.
