Thank you again for taking the time to read this week’s blog. As we edge ever closer to exam season, our focus remains on practical preparation, steady progress and supporting Year 11 through a very full and exciting period.
She encouraged students to:
Next week’s assembly will be led by me, where we will talk through Easter priorities as well as celebrate some of the fantastic things happening across the year group.
This is the final opportunity for families to meet teachers before the GCSE exams to discuss progress and gather advice for revision over Easter.

📅 Prom will take place on Monday 22nd June
📍 Queens Hotel, Bournemouth
The hotel has recently undergone an extensive renovation, and after visiting, I’m confident it is a brilliant fit for our students - ideal for vehicle drop‑offs, a lovely space for parents to watch arrivals, and of course, a great dance floor.
More details will follow soon as we begin organising the final touches.
If any student is unsure of their slot, please ask them to check in with Mr Coshan in the Drama office during break or lunch on Monday or Tuesday.
The level of musicianship was superb, the atmosphere was buzzing, and it was wonderful to be back in the theatre again. Good luck to all our performers heading to the New Milton Music Festival on Saturday - what an incredible opportunity.
Twynham came out strong, capitalising on two early mistakes with goals from Riley and Henry. BSB fought back, converting a penalty before half‑time and equalising late in the second half. With 10 minutes to go, the match could have gone either way - but Twynham dug deep, lifted the intensity, and Harry Rogers secured the win with a calm finish into the bottom corner.
A brilliant performance from the whole team. A rematch against Highcliffe (we think!) awaits in the final!
Week Beginning 23/03/2026
