We are thrilled to share that we have received 28 wonderful letters from the pupils at Notre-Dame de Bellegarde School. Recently, Ms C Horton’s Modern Foreign Languages class have thoroughly enjoyed corresponding with their new pen pals and have eagerly written back!
This pen pal exchange is a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to practice their language skills and build connections with pupils from another country. We are proud of our pupils for embracing this cultural exchange and look forward to the continued development of these international friendships.

We hope all of our pupils had a restful half-term break. We’re now in Week 4 of exam season, and we want to say a big “Well done!” to all our Year 11 and Year 13 pupils for their hard work and dedication so far. Keep up the great effort!
As a reminder, pupils are only required to attend lessons for subjects where they haven’t yet completed their final exam. Please remember to sign in at the main reception when you arrive for lessons and sign out when you leave. This is crucial for fire evacuation and safeguarding purposes.
Pupils with exams scheduled in both the morning and afternoon will have the option to return home between exams. For those who do not wish to go home, the school library will be open for quiet study.
Wishing you all the best in your exams this week! You’ve got this!
