This was led by Elizabeth Prochaska QC, a leading equality and human rights barrister. While it is heartening that this review found staff and students describe the two schools as cohesive, open and welcoming, we were unsurprised that it makes a range of recommendations across broad areas of school life. In many of these areas, the issue had already been identified and work had already begun. We had begun scrutinising our curriculum and monitoring our admissions and recruitment more rigorously, and that work will continue. Issues will also be addressed through the PSHEE programme. We shall be appointing a diversity and inclusion lead to our senior management team, and there will also be a governor with specific responsibility for this area. You can read the review here.

Sing & Swing ’21
Clarinet and saxophone quartets performed wearing gold and silver hats, a swing band rendition of Saturday Night Fever, and a student band (the 'Baker's Dozen') taking on Mama Mia? It must be that time of year again: the Sing & Swing is back and available to watch in full here.
Great job, careers committee!
City hosted a series of informative, virtual talks this week about careers ranging from law and journalism to finance or medicine. So far, so usual. But this time, they were entirely student-organised by our sixth form Careers Committee!
Good luck to all our year 11 and year 13 students as they begin their GCSE and A level exams. We are incredibly proud of your hard work and dedication and we wish you all the best over the coming weeks.

Last weekend, 75 year 10 students completed the silver practice expedition for their @DofE. They walked along part of the South Downs improving their navigational skills and the instructors were impressed by the keen focus, determination and sense of fun shown by all!
