Guests, Governors, Staff, Parents, Past and Present Pupils, and very importantly, the class of 2025, our Year 14 leavers, I am very pleased to welcome you all this evening.

Last year, we reflected together on the theme of breaking glass ceilings — the boldness to push through barriers that others said could not be moved. And what we discovered is this: breaking those ceilings is not an accident. It is the outcome of ambition, aspiration, and hard work. And each time a ceiling shatters, it sends a signal: it can be done. It sets a precedent. And once a precedent is set, others can follow, others can go further, others can rise higher.
