On Friday 28 June the Sixth Form bunting was out ‘en masse’ as we held our 2019 Induction Day and welcomed students from 28 schools who will be joining us next year. The incoming Year 12 students had the opportunity to experience Sixth Form life and spent the day enjoying time with their Tutor Groups and Houses

On Tuesday 25 June, over 180 of our Year 11 students enjoyed their school prom at Donnington Grove Hotel along with a number of members of St Bart’s staff. The evening was full of fun, laughter and lots of dancing. Students were treated to a photobooth, buffet, DJ, sweet stand and a stunning venue, decorated by our Year 11 Prom Committee.

We are delighted to announce that eight of  our current Year 13 students have received offers to study medicine or veterinary science at University. This follows months of hard work and study to complete entry tests and interviews at their chosen Universities.

The offers to study medicine are at Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham, Southampton, Sheffield, Kings College, London and UEA. One student has chosen to study Veterinary Medicine at Nottingham after she was offered a remarkable four places.

Congratulations to the students who took part in the Quad Kids Athletics Competition on Thursday 6 June at Park House. Each athlete had to compete in the 800m, 100m, Long Jump and Vortex Javelin; the faster they ran and the further they threw and jumped the more points they scored as an individual and the more points they contributed to the overall team score.

St Bart’s finished in 1^st place out of 6 schools which was a great team performance.
