During the Easter break we carried out some remodelling to create a new base for Dr. Jade Adams-White, our school Mental Health Practitioner.

The new base is in a location that is very central in the school building and easily accessible by all students, and underlinese our ongoing commitment to the mental health and wellbeing of our students and staff.

We’re proud to be supporting the 'Improving Gender Balance' project led by the Institute of Physics.

Science education is popular and well supported at St. Julie’s, and our students have achieved the Ogden Trust’s Schools’ Physicist of the Year award several times over the last decade.

We look forward to working with the IoP in further raising engagement.
