Christmas Card Competition Winner 2025!

We were delighted to receive so many brilliant entries for this year’s Christmas card competition. The standard and creativity were incredibly high, making the judging a real challenge.

A huge congratulations to our winner, Elizabeth O in Year 9, whose thoughtful and eye-catching design wove the Christmas verse beautifully into her artwork. Elizabeth’s design will now be made into the Headteacher’s official Christmas card, sent to her VIP list, including local headteachers, church ministers and key members of our school community.

Well done to everyone who took part; your imagination and effort truly shone.

Year 11 Devising Performances 2025

/

On Thursday 13th November, our GCSE Drama pupils completed their first official performance exam. As part of their Component 1 Devising module, pupils were tasked with creating their own original performance based on stimuli such as news articles, images and poetry. Over the past nine weeks, our Year 11 class have worked incredibly hard to produce creative and engaging performances; rehearsing in lessons and after school and working in groups to meet the required expectations. It has been a long road with some challenges on the way, but our pupils have shown true resilience.

Careers: Year 11 Interviews

/

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the parents and carers who generously volunteered their time on Monday to conduct mock interviews with our Year 11 pupils. These sessions provided invaluable practice, helping pupils build confidence and develop essential communication skills for their future pathways.

Together, the support from families, local employers and the wider community made this experience both meaningful and memorable for our pupils.

Christmas Carol Auditions

/

It is that time of year already! Our wonderful new Year 7s auditioned for the Carol Service drama performance and, my goodness, this year group is bursting with talent! Mr Bell and I had such a tough time choosing who would be selected and, as you can see from the photos, every pupil who auditioned gave an outstanding performance. With Christmas fast approaching, and after much deliberation, we narrowed it down to the final twelve pupils. Rehearsals began this week with Mr Bell in the Director’s chair. Year 7s will perform their piece at the Christmas Carol Service in December. It will be wonderful to see it come together.

Cross Country Competitors at the London Youth Games

/

Last Saturday, several of our pupils were selected to represent Wandsworth at the London Youth Games cross country race. It was a short but challenging, hilly course and they all gave it their absolute best. As the usual Wandsworth cross country event was cancelled this year, we were delighted that some of our pupils still had the opportunity to compete.
