1/04/2021Before we sign off for the Easter break we wanted to share some news that we feel epitomises our school motto; 'Proud to Belong, Proud to Achieve'.
As some of you may know, Tilly P in Year 11 is a very talented young rugby player, something that she trains and works hard at, and this week she has received a conditional offer at Henley College to study either Sport & Exercise Science or Sport, Fitness & Personal Training. Henley is renowned for having produced many incredible international rugby players over the years, and Tilly has also been put forward to train on the Girls Elite Rugby programme, a course coached by two former England players, Kat Merchant and Kim Oliver. This is an amazing achievement for Tilly, which could see her progress on to playing rugby for England U18s, U20s and beyond.
We couldn't be prouder of you, Tilly! Lots of hard work truly paying off, well done!

30/03/2021As part of our welcome back to school programme we have been "collapsing" the timetable for an afternoon for each year group. This has been a welcome opportunity, especially for our younger years, to reform the friendship bonds, relax together and have some fun. Students were offered the chance to take part in a football tournament, a zumba class, an afternoon of mindful arts and crafts, a world record attempt and a stop motion animation club.
The students all had an amazing time but our wow moment has got to be this very creative stop motion animation created by three Year 8 students; Harrison, Ned and Thomas. Well done, boys, this is awesome!
