GCSE Spanish pupils visited BFI London this Wednesday for a study day exploring identity and culture through short film. Conducted entirely in Spanish, the event expanded pupils’ vocabulary while strengthening their listening, speaking and writing skills. During the morning, pupils analysed a selection of curated short films, and took part in discussions and activities designed to build confidence and develop critical film-analysis skills.
Drama Club is thriving, with 45 pupils attending each week to play games, create original pieces and develop new theatrical skills. Pupils have been exploring a range of styles, including Frantic Assembly and Silent Movies.
This week, several silent performances were brought to life through imaginative lighting, expertly operated by our tech team pictured here: Elani D (Year 7), Tali D (Year 7) and Harmony B (Year 8). They smoothly shifted between pink and green for a ‘wicked’ theme, as well as atmospheric red and cool blue for night-time scenes.

A group of aspiring healthcare professionals in Year 12 successfully secured places at a careers event at City St George’s, University of London, this week.

Recently, children enjoyed some excellent sessions including origami, bath bomb making and a twelve-tone music class.
