Graduation schedule for December 2023
All finalist students are required to register a graduation choice which we hope to open on the 16 October. Attendance is not guaranteed if you don’t register by the deadline.
To make Graduation more accessible, we are trailing an alternative Graduation experience this December. This experience is designed for students or guests with learning difficulties, autism, social anxiety, or sensory processing difficulties, but is open to any students or guests who may find this alternative format more comfortable, subject to availability. This ceremony will be taking place on Tuesday 19 December 2023.
In addition a digital graduation ceremony will be held on Friday 8 December for those students who are unable to attend in person.
Please only register to attend one event.
Graduation timetable will be listed below when it is ready. You are only able to attend with your parent school.
