Those not returned by Wednesday, 6 December will be charged to the goldsheet.

Prize Giving 2023
This is a highlight of the school year and we look forward to you joining us in the celebration of our prize winners and Year 13 leavers.

A reminder that all students are expected to attend Prize Giving on Tuesday, 5 December at the Town Hall, commencing at 6.30pm. Please leave plenty of time for parking and ensure you are seated by 6.20pm. Students will need to check in with their tutors prior to being seated between 6pm and 6.15pm. Year 13 should go directly to the seats on stage. Prize winners, performers and Year 13 students need to sit in the designated areas. Prize winners are required to arrive by 6pm and all other performers by 5.45pm. Students wear full, correct summer uniform, including their blazer.

Year 12 Blazers
Year 12s will need to have the Year 13 braid put on their blazers for 2024. The blazer needs to be dry cleaned before we take it to the factory for braiding.

We offer a service for all students to hand in their blazers straight after Prizegiving. Look out for Nicki Pooley in the foyer and she will do the rest. Blazers will be available when the girls come back at the start of year meeting. Please ensure the blazer is named, free of badges and there is nothing in the pockets.
