The Year 11 Leavers' Event was a day filled with joy, pride, and a few emotional goodbyes. This event not only signified the end of an important chapter for our students, but also a significant milestone for the school itself.
Our Year 11 students have made history as the very first cohort to complete their GCSEs at Ark Blake, many of whom joined us when the school first opened its doors in 2020. Over the past five years, they have grown into remarkable young people and have played a vital role in shaping the identity and culture for our school community.
The Leavers' Event was a chance to reflect on their journey, celebrate their achievements, and look ahead to the exciting futures that lie before them. Staff and students came together to share memories, offer congratulations, and wish the class of 2025 every success in their next steps.
Our Year 11s have truly embodied the core values of working hard, being kind and taking responsibility. From their commitment in the classroom, to their support for one another and contributions to the wider school community. They have set a high standard for the younger years to follow.
We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved and the resilience they have shown - particularly given the unique challenges they have faced as a pioneering year group.
To our Year 11 leavers, thank you for the role you have played in making Ark Blake what it is today. We wish you every success in your future endeavours!
