We are delighted to share the news that Toby G in Year 9 has been selected to play county hockey, representing London Hockey U15 South. This is a huge achievement, well done Toby, and we look forward to following his progress.
Our Art and Textiles students in Years 12 and 13 took part in a workshop to support the production of their art portfolios, delivered by Norwich University of the Arts. They learnt how to capture a story and show this through their work, which will help with future applications to courses including Art, Architecture and Design.
Well done to pupils who entered their designs for the school Christmas card competition this year and especially to our winner, Mimi J in Year 7. Mimi’s winning Christmas card will be professionally printed with her name credited on the back, and sent to churches, schools and organisations who have supported our school. All the fantastic entries celebrated the birth of Jesus. The judges thought that the winning entry most brought to life the verse which will appear in our Year 7 drama item at the Carol Service, adapted from John 1:14: ‘The Word became human and moved into the neighbourhood.’
We are really grateful to the parents and volunteers who gave up their time to support Year 11 with interview practice on Monday last week. Thank you to everyone involved as your input was invaluable to all our pupils. It will help them focus their thoughts on next steps and grow in confidence with their interview techniques.
In Astronomy Club pupils went to space! Using our virtual reality headsets, they visited the International Space Station to float around in a zero-gravity environment, saw the different sections of the station, looked outside at Earth ‘below’ and saw how far ‘up’ the station actually is. They even got to do a spacewalk and go outside the station!
In October, our adventurous Year 12 and 13 students embarked on a five-day journey through Iceland’s breathtaking landscapes and geothermal wonders, to support their A Level Geography studies. The group’s exploration began at the Bridge Between Continents, a stunning fissure between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.
Other highlights included an exhilarating glacier walk on Sólheimajökull, where students donned crampons and ice axes to explore its melting ice formations and learn about climate change. The group then marvelled at the iconic Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss waterfalls and even enjoyed a unique Lava Show, feeling the intense heat of molten rock!
Lily G reports on the team’s season so far:
“The girls’ U15 football season has started off with a bang following a comfortable 7-2 win against Ashcroft Technology Academy. Despite only having six players, we persevered, came through and won with a positive mentality.
“Throughout the past few weeks, it has been nice to see new people attending training sessions and becoming part of the squad. Girls’ football is growing rapidly in school, with lots of new girls at training every week, making matches a lot more competitive and fun. Melody D in particular, showing her confidence and skill in training and in her first game, was a wonderful thing to see.
“I would like to give a shout out to Beatrice E who scored two goals and Kyanna T who scored a hat-trick against Ashcroft! The other two were own goals. Sharon O gave a great performance with some outstanding saves in goal. Overall, from a player’s perspective, it was a great game and also a sign of incredible team growth since Year 8.”
