A brilliant day celebrating our wonderful Year 11’s on Friday for their ‘Leavers Day.’
It was fantastic to see our younger pupils and staff eager to sign Year 11’s shirts, writing good luck messages and providing words of wisdom as they start their GCSEs this week.
To Year 11, as Mr Rees said on Friday, you have made us incredibly proud over the last 5 years in Senior school. You represent everything HGS stands for and we wish you the best of luck in your exams and for the future!
