Y13 Leavers’ Day

As we wished our Y13 students good luck with their forthcoming exams today, we also looked back at their
years in Sixth Form and, for most of them, their last seven years here at Uckfield. What every person who
spoke at the Y13 Leavers’ Assembly said was how they are an outstanding year group that have been brimful of
kindness with a true, compassionate respect for not only each other but other people too.

To see their growth into such interesting characters, who have a real drive to do something meaningful in their
lives, has been a real privilege for all the staff here who have worked with them over the years.

We all wish them every success in their exams and every happiness in their futures.

Warmest regards

Hugh Hennebry
Principal
