The month of June brings with it many things. For our hardworking Year 11s, their external exams start to draw to a close and they will look ahead to their next journey at sixth form (after a very well deserved extended summer holiday of course). For the rest of school, June marks the beginning of the last half-term of a very busy and successful academic year.

I can’t write my weekly reflection without first mentioning year 11. This week has been tough, with many having exams each morning and on some days exams in both the morning and afternoon. I have been so incredibly impressed with the pupils’ resilience and dedication.

I cannot believe that exam season is upon us already. Exams began on Tuesday, with the GCSE Art exam. I know Mme Sullivan was incredibly impressed with the work produced. We then had GCSE papers on Thursday and Friday. Pupils were in cram from 7:30am each morning, and it was fantastic to see their smiling faces as they left the exam hall.

This week I have been thinking about Mondays, as this Monday was year 11’s last Monday in school before the start of their GCSEs. I know that it may not be everyone’s favourite day of the week, but it does happen to be mine. Every Monday morning I have the privilege of speaking to all pupils during whole school assembly and celebrating the successes of the previous week.

As the Summer Term begins, I have returned to school full of optimism. Perhaps this is due to having a rest and spending time with my loved ones over the Easter holidays. Perhaps it is the wonderful weather we enjoyed over the holidays.

It has been a busy but rewarding term here at The Hurlingham Academy. The end of a term always offers us a moment to reflect on the progress we have made as a school as well as a chance to look ahead and set ourselves new goals.

I know I say this every week but it has been an incredibly busy week here at The Hurlingham Academy. I cannot believe all the extra curricular events that we have had this week. Charity week has been actioned packed, with dodgeball, football and baking to name just a few.

We are currently in the month of Ramadan. Many know Ramadan as a time for fasting, where those participating abstain from eating or drinking during daylight hours. We recognise that this can be a challenge for many, and I would just like to take this opportunity to say how pleased I have been with pupils commitment to their studies over the past couple of weeks.

On Monday we held our termly parent forum. This is always one of my favourite evenings of the term. Of course, it is fantastic to hear all the things that you think we are doing well here at the school, but it was also great to hear your suggestions about how we can improve. I always say that it is only by working together that we will achieve the best for our children.
