Tuesday was our annual Open Evening and it was attended by record numbers of visitors.

Literally thousands of people explored the school, attended the Headteacher presentations and heard from current Year 7 students Freya and Caleb and the Sixth Form Head Boy and Head Girl about life at GBHS.

Prospective students and their parents were able to visit all departments in the school and get a taste of the outstanding facilities and resources that are enjoyed by our school community.

Most visitors took advantage of the opportunity to use a student guide to tour the school, gaining first-hand information about the school straight from the horses' mouth – the students! I can honestly say that they are the best ambassadors for our school and each and every guide did a superb job presenting the school in its best light.

The sports selection information talk by Mrs Davis on our sports entry programme was rammed to the rafters and each of the Headteacher talks had standing room only. This shows that the way we deliver outstanding education here at GBHS is working, with the message reaching our community, leading to record numbers of parents wanting to place their children in such a successful and dynamic environment.

We are still running our tours of the school during the week for the rest of this half term and if you have a child in Year 6 and are interested in attending please enquire at the school reception or contact us on 01245 265821.
