As most students headed home for the summer holiday, an intrepid group of 16 LVI (Year 12) students set off for their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award Assessed Expedition. The Brecon Beacons served as the venue, with the team camping near Glasbury on Monday evening after a pub meal - their last taste of civilisation for a few days.
Congratulations to our UV (Year 11) students for an exceptional round of GCSE examinations. An outstanding 63% of all examinations taken were awarded grade 8 or 9 with 37% achieving the top grade of 9. In total, 82% of GCSE examinations taken were awarded grades 9-7. This is an excellent achievement that the girls should be very proud of and a testament to their hard work and determination.
We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of our 2024 Leavers who, as a year group, have made a hugely positive impact on the community of St Mary’s Calne. They have contributed as leaders, role models, eco-warriors, and champions of charity and, while doing this, they have also studied hard and achieved an exceptional set of A Level results.
We have 11 official winners of the '40 Book Reading Challenge' this year, all rewarded with a £20 Waterstones voucher.
Last Wednesday and Thursday, the whole of LV immersed themselves into life in the Sixth Form.
For the final Music@Lunch concert for the year, we were treated to a gorgeous array of delights from our guitar students.
The sun was shining as we waved St Mary’s goodbye on Monday 10th June as the MIV (Year 8) set off for a week on the Isle of Wight, the weather forecast suggested we were in for a lovely warm week, with only a few showers.
On Monday 24th June, the LVI (Year 12) Historians ventured to the wilds of Salisbury to the amazing Chalke History Festival to hear a variety of Historians talk.
Recently, members of the LVI (Year 12) went to Dorset for their A Level Geography fieldtrip.
This year we were delighted to renew our links with local Girlguiding units and provide the current LVI (Year 12) with opportunities to volunteer as Young Leaders with Rainbows (aged 4-7), Brownies (7-10) or Guides (10-14).
