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.

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.

#FavouriteBookFriday with…… Head of Mathematics, Ms Paraskeva

9th July 2021Mrs S Field
#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.”

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?
