International Women's Day 2024

We celebrated this year's International Women’s Day (8th March 2024) with a conference held on Tuesday 5th March, for the sixth form and Year 9 and 10 student leaders. This year's theme was “The power of Memory: a celebration and reflection on the female story”.

We welcomed five inspirational speakers presenting on the theme ‘Inspire Inclusion’, explored through the concept of Memory. The conference was led and managed by our fantastic Sixth Form leaders: Akua and Clara (Joint Head Girl hosts) supported by four other Year 12 leaders: Lara, Josh, Abby, Georgina, Erin, and Isabella.
