One of the great strengths of the school is its ethos and spirit which unites all students and staff in times of success and difficulty and on Thursday, the school stood as one in respect and memory of the victims of the terrorist attack in Manchester.

Today we say goodbye to our Year 13 students who have reached their last day of official lessons before Exam Leave and then life post-NSB.

At the beginning of the year I recall a conversation with the Director of Sport, Mr Wilcock, where we predicted that this would be the year when NSB finally landed a national basketball title after perennial years of being the proverbial 'bridesmaid' as runner up. 

Today marks the retirement of one of the greatest teachers/managers that the school has had the privilege to have serving it in its illustrious 476 year history.
