Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 students have participated in Sports Day on our wonderfully well-maintained school fields. They were great days of sporting competition, camaraderie and fun. 

Congratulations to all  students who took part and thank you to the P.E. department for the superb organisation of the day.

The last few weeks have seen a number of celebration events where student achievement has been recognised and acclaimed.  Our Achievement Awards Evenings at school have been enjoyed by parents, carers, students and staff alike.

On Monday 19^th June, Mrs Fernandez and I took a small group of Year 10 students to a ‘Schools Visit Day’ at Churchill College, Cambridge.  The day was designed to give Year 10 state-school students an insight into how to prepare for an application to Cambridge and what student life is like there.  An insightful presentation reminded us all of the importance of both choosing A levels carefully and also starting ‘supercurricular’ work to broaden our understanding and knowledge of a subject.  ‘Supercurricular’ work does not cost anything to do, and might include: listening to podcasts; watching subject-specific videos; reading academic journals or articles; entering essay-writing competitions.
