Dear Parents and Carers,

We shall be saying our final goodbyes to Year 13 students today in their NRA Ceremony. As ever, it is hard to believe that the little Year 7s who started at QK so excitedly seven years ago are now about to take their place in the adult world! They have grown up into such talented young men and women, ready to head off to universities around the country. They will be revising hard over the next few weeks in order to achieve the highest grades possible in their exams and all at QK wish them the very best of luck for their exams and for their future.

We will also be saying goodbye to Year 11 students next week. They have a busy week with their own NRA ceremony and, of course, their Prom at the Marriott Hotel. Many students will also be completing exams in various subjects so please help them to balance their time sensibly.

Due to the Year 11 NRA, there will be an early closure on Wednesday 19th, with students dismissed from registration after lunch.

On Wednesday night QK hosted their second First Story event where the students presented the writing that they had been completing with an author over the year. The quality of the writing was absolutely amazing – well done to all those who took part. (Full report next week).
