Celebrating Year 13 before Study Leave

Our year 13 students celebrated their last formal day here at North Leamington School Sixth Form as they start their study leave.

With a now-established fancy dress theme of famous characters, we celebrated all the things our students have achieved during their time with us and all the many wonderful plans they have going forward.

The Sixth Form Team set something of a standard dressing as the friendship group from The Wizard of Oz – though hopefully no-one feels that they lack brains, courage and a heart.

A mid-morning get-together in the Common Room was followed by an extended assembly celebrating achievements past and present - the selection of photos, messages and student awards was met with nostalgia and amusement in equal measure.

As is now tradition, we finished our day with ice creams and more photos at the front of school.

We wish all Year 13 students the very best for their exams and their future destinations – we are very proud of them all.
