As part of the ceremony, Year 13 also released biodegradable balloons with messages and hopes for the future. It was wonderful to hear back from families in Swanley, Chalfont St Giles and Croxley Green who found the balloons and wanted to wish our students well.

It was lovely opportunity to look back at the friendships made, lessons learnt and challenges that our students have overcome. #graduation2024 #Urswickschool #believeandachieve
