Battle of the Bands

On Thursday 24th October, six bands, Magnitude 6, Strange Flow, 33% Ginger, Spree, The Birds and the Bees and Wisp, went head-to-head for the Battle of the Bands title. It was a tough competition as the talent was fierce. Friends and family filled the Sports Hall with dancing and singing, echoing the same excitement and hysteria as a sold-out concert at Wembley stadium. Finally, our judges came to their final decisions, assigning 3rd place to Birds and the Bees, 2nd place to Spree and crowning 1st place to 33% Ginger!

Year 10 Rugby Success

Last week, the Year 10 rugby team convincingly beat Graveney School 64 - 5 in the second round of the National Plate competition. They will now play Fulham Boys School in the next round, so we are preparing for this big game. Player of the Match was William H who scored three tries.

County Hockey Selection

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.

Art Workshop

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.

Christmas Card Winners!

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.’

Year 11 Interview Practice

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.
