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.

Yesterday, Year 9 were involved in a ‘Crime Awareness’ Workshop Day run by the award winning provider, ‘Impressionable Minds’.
In these workshops specific issues on crime were be discussed with the aim to raise awareness of topics that are relevant to young people.
In all cases and in all the workshops, appropriate and up to date advice and guidance was given with the central theme of the day to give our boys the awareness and skills to identify and avoid the dangers of criminal and anti-social behaviour.
#FavouriteBookFriday: Head of Mathematics, Ms Paraskeva has chosen ‘The Jack Reacher Series (books 1-23) by Lee Child’.
A righteous avenger for our troubled times.
From ‘The Midnight Line’ one favourite reference was the fact that Jack Reacher is referred to as Bigfoot throughout the book.
“And standing in the middle of the room was Bigfoot. No doubt about it. The guy was huge. Not quite seven feet, but close.”
Yep, football mania has swept through the staff room!
Teachers watching football, teachers talking football, teachers predicting football.
Enjoying watching EURO 2020?
We’ve also been engaging in a staff prediction quiz (mathematical elements to it!).
With the final on Sunday still to come, who will come out on top?

Our Year 10 historians have been involved in Black History Workshops discovering the beauty of black ancient civilizations.
Did you know that there were over 15 different Ancient Black African Civilisations dating back 17, 000 years? The oldest: the Zingh Empire 15000 BCE.
I wonder how many others you can think of?
