And so the Summer Term comes to an end. Weâve had another busy week as weâve completed the second cycle of our new timetable with students and teachers settling into it well. This will help to secure a smooth start in September.
Our service students have had a fantastic opportunity this week to visit Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge organised by Inspiring Choices. Mrs. Murphy reported on the first day, âEveryone is doing well and enjoying the residential. We had a really interesting tour around Anglia Ruskin Campus after some thought-provoking sessions on transferable skills yesterday. The students then had a bit of time to explore their accommodation and chill out before heading out for pizza. We got there in the nick of time as it started pouring down. Luckily it mostly stopped by the time we finished, so we got to go on a really interesting tour around Cambridge, some highlights were the richest college, Trinity College and also Kings College. There were a lot of very impressive buildings and architecture.â During the second day, students were involved in  a stop motion workshop to create an animation showing the advantages of University. Theyâd clearly had a fantastic time and a great opportunity to consider their possible futures. Inspiring Choices commented that the success of the trip was âdue mainly to the enthusiasm, interest and participation from the young people.â Our thanks go to Mrs Murphy and Mr. Lough for accompanying the students and to Inspiring Choices for giving our students this opportunity.

Our Duke of Edinburgh students were delighted to receive the gift of some new tents from a grant from the Fortus Foundation secured by The Friends of Boroughbridge High School. This will give our expeditions a real boost next year.

Today weâve had our end of year whole school assembly, celebrating achievements across our whole school community. After our usual look through the year in images, we announced the winner of our Reward Trip photography competition, Amelia in Year 7. The 35 students who broke school records at Sports Day were also recognised before the winning form classes were announced. They were 11SF (for the fourth year running!), 10DG, 9AB and 8SA. There was all round applause.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support and wish you and your family a great Summer break. Students return to school on Tuesday 2nd September.
