Dear Bentley Wood Community,
As we come to the end of another school year, it is my pleasure to share with you our school newsletter. It serves as a celebration of this half term, as well as a reflection on some of the memorable events from across the year. I hope that, as you read through it, you are able to reminisce about the many excellent experiences and moments we’ve shared.
This year, one of our Year 10 students won the regional final of the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge and went on to compete in the Grand Final at the Cambridge Theatre in Central London. I watched in awe as she courageously delivered her speech on Maths and Music from a West End stage, alongside 14 other impressive Year 10 finalists.
We also trialled a new venue for our Sports Day at the Harrow Boys’ sports track. It was a truly wonderful day, with students and staff coming together to support their House Teams.
To end the year, I hosted the Headteacher’s Tea Party, where students nominated by their pastoral leaders were celebrated — a very deserving group to spend the afternoon with. We also enjoyed our much-anticipated Activity Days, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
I look forward to welcoming you all back in September. Until then, I wish you a restful and enjoyable summer break.
Best wishes and kindest regards,
Ms N Akbar Headteacher
