Congratulations to Isabel, 9T, who has had an outstanding couple of weekends competing in open water swimming events, achieving two remarkable victories!

Vethumya, 9A. ''Vethumya's End of Year English Literature essay was incredibly impressive - she joined the school late, therefore only receiving a small portion of the teaching on 'Great Expectations'. Despite this, she tirelessly worked in the lead up to the exams, bringing me multiple mock essays to check and she was eager to act on feedback. She ended up scoring the highest mark for her essay in 9D, an achievement which she should be very proud of as the essay demonstrated a strong argument and thoughtful reflections about the text that were supported by deep analysis and integration of context.'' Nominated by Miss Grant. Awarded 10 House points. 

Reading allows us to step into someone else’s shoes, helping us build empathy and understanding. To mark National Refugee Week (16th–22nd June), we’re highlighting a powerful selection of books inspired by the real-life experiences of people forced to leave their homes. These stories offer important insights into courage, resilience, and hope—come and explore them in the library.

This year’s Swimming Gala at Plymouth College saw over 100 enthusiastic participants take to the pool in what was another hotly contested house competition. The event was packed with energy, talent, and house spirit.
