Who Won the Staff V Students Golf Match?

22nd July 2021Mrs S Field
Last week saw our annual staff v student golf match at Bush Hill Park which has been running since 2016.
It was a very close match ending as a DRAW with 32 points each… which is not too bad for the staff team as they have yet to win a tournament!
But, more importantly everyone had a great time in the sun!

Our Year 10s Chosen for the Premier League Inspires Challenge

17th July 2021Mrs S Field

In a recent project, a group of our Year 10s, mentored by Mr Pieri, won the right to represent the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation for the Premier League Inspires Challenge.

Their Social Action Project was to put on an event for the local elderly to help them overcome difficulties they have endured over the past 15 months. However after a thorough Risk Assessment (which formed part of the boys’ action plan) the event turned into a ‘Thank You’ afternoon for school staff to show gratitude for all they have done since last March to support students.

This project has afforded these boys the opportunity to experience positive consequences from their positive work and was celebrated last Friday with tea and cakes!

Well done Gianni, Jahmar, Darius, Hashim and Matthew.

Thank you to Myri from Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, for all his work with the boys. Thank you to Lisa Piggott from the Premier League and to the Tottenham Hotspur football scholars, one of whom is an ex-grammar boy, Romaine Mundle.

And, of course, thank you to Mr Pieri who doesn’t like to miss out on a photo opportunity!

Who will come out on top?

8th July 2021Mrs S Field
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?

#FavouriteBookFriday with…. Director of Sport, Mr Kendrick

2nd July 2021Mrs S Field
#FavouriteBookFriday:
Director of Sport, Mr Kendrick has chosen ‘Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit of Lance Armstrong by David Walsh’.
 
The definitive account of the author’s twelve-year quest to uncover and make known the truth about Lance Armstrong’s long history of performance-enhancing drug use, which ultimately led to the cyclist’s being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.
“I wanted to tell him that the problems of the more recent past were in part down to journalists being too gullible. And to remind him of the role journalists and newspapers had played in the creation of the Tour de France… Journalists are sentimental creatures and the success of the Tour is built on emotion and memory.”
