The First Live Concert Since Feb 2020!

15th July 2021Mrs S Field

The Music Department was very pleased to hold an end of term Concert on Tuesday, 6th July.

Due to the rainy weather, this was moved from an outside venue at Lower School into the Main Hall where we welcomed an audience of Year 7 students.

This was our first live concert since February 2020 and our bands were so pleased to finally get back on stage!  The bands were all year group based and have been rehearsing both online and at live rehearsals since the Autumn term.  They all performed so well and really showed what hard work, commitment and love of music can do.

Thanks to every student who rehearsed and performed and to the tutors who have supported them.

EDI Meeting on 21/7/21

13th July 2021Mrs S Field

You may recall that during October 2020, I hosted a number of online forums with parents/carers to discuss issues around Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). From these meetings a working party was set up and we have reviewed the progress that the School has made against our EDI objectives set for 2020-21 EDI and have set new objectives for 2021-22.

I would like to meet with any parents/carers who would like an update on our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion objectives and on how parents/carers can help plan for EDI events in the next academic year.

The meeting, will be held remotely via ‘Zoom’ at 6pm on Wednesday 21 July 2021.

All parents/carers are invited to this meeting. You will be able to book your space using the booking platform called ‘Eventbrite’.

Year 10 Historians

12th July 2021Mrs S Field

Another fascinating session with Holler UK during which our talented Y10 historians learned that Queen Hat-Shep-Sut was a powerful queen in Ancient Egypt who ruled alone for 20 years without a male Pharaoh. She also ruled peacefully.
