CLCA & CJCA Y11 students have visited Leeds City College at the North Street Campus this week to register for their ESOL course. The college was hosting their International Day, with the presence of the Lord Mayor of Leeds, stalls for different countries, music, dance performances, and poetry readings. Our Y11s had a taste of some international food whilst they experienced one of the events in the annual calendar for Leeds City College, allowing them to meet some of the college staff ready for September!

🌟 A Thank You from Y11 🌟 With just two more exams to go, Y11 wanted to take a moment to say a sincere thank you to the rest of the Year Groups. Your calm, respectful behaviour during this important period has not gone unnoticed. Whether it was moving quietly through corridors, being considerate around exam spaces — it has made a real difference and helped create a positive environment where we could focus and do our best. Thank you for playing your part and for showing such respect — it means more than you might realise. Thank you from Y11.
