Year 8 Leavers … Blazers off, hoodies on — and just like that, the transition begins. What may seem like a simple change in uniform is, in fact, a bold symbol of your incredible journey. You’ve crossed a milestone that marks not just the end of a school year, but the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
With Common Entrance and Scholarship exams now behind you (conquered with true Pennthorpe poise!), you’ve officially stepped into your final moments at Pennthorpe. The Good Goodbye Programme is in full swing, designed to celebrate your time here with joy, reflection, and togetherness.
The coming weeks promise a whirlwind of fun, laughter, and heartfelt goodbyes. Whether it’s sharing stories with friends, creating final memories on campus, or simply soaking in the atmosphere of your school days one last time, this period is yours to savour. You’ve earned every second of it — and we couldn’t be prouder of who you’ve become.
Let’s make these last days unforgettable. Celebrate your achievements, cherish the friendships, and look ahead with excitement and confidence. The future is bright, and it’s yours for the taking.
Thank you, Year 8s, for the energy, kindness, and character you’ve brought to Pennthorpe. Your legacy will be felt long after the hoodies are folded away.
Here’s to you — Year 8 Leavers, the Class of 2025. 💙
