Seniors Trip to Alpe d’Huez

Over the Easter holidays, 62 students from Years 8 to...

Another fantastic evening earlier this month at our annual Sports Personality Dinner. We were delighted to welcome our guest speaker, Kate Richardson-Walsh OBE, whose inspiring speech was a real highlight of the evening. Kate also generously took the time to meet pupils and pose for photos with those preparing for this summer’s tour to Holland and Belgium.

Our comedian, Jamie Sutherland, kept guests entertained throughout the evening with a brilliant performance, with plenty of smiles and laughter all round — something clearly reflected in the photos!

We are incredibly grateful to all our generous guests who supported the event by purchasing tickets, buying raffle tickets, and bidding in the auction. The evening simply would not be possible without your continued support. Most importantly, it was wonderful to see the wider Birkonian community come together and enjoy such a special occasion. We would also like to thank everyone from within the School community and beyond who kindly donated prizes.

A huge thank you as well to the catering team from Lodestone House for the excellent food, and to the touring staff and pupils who worked so hard on the night.

Now, bring on the tour!
