Today we invited our 11+ scholars to Scholar’s Brunch. Pupils proudly showcased the incredible range of scholarly activities they have been involved in — both inside and outside of school. From scuba diving adventures to museum explorations, academic competitions and even the successful achievement of a grade 9 at early GCSE entry, our Scholars demonstrated an inspiring commitment to curiosity and challenge. Students brought along medals, certificates, project work and photographs of themselves in action — a true display of passion, hard work and dedication. Staff were thoroughly impressed by the variety and ambition of our scholars’ pursuits — a huge well done to everyone who took part! Mrs Butler-Hand will be leading an information session next week for all pupils looking to apply for a 13+ scholarship. #ScholarsBrunch #StudentSuccess #ProudTeachers #LifelongLearners #CuriosityAndChallenge

🌍 Year 7 Geography Skills – Michaelmas Term 🌍 This term, our Year 7 students have been developing their Geography Skills through an exciting project — the Geography Passport Challenge! ✈️ Each student created their very own Geography Passport, introducing themselves through six creative challenges. These tasks encouraged them to share information about their lives while making connections to local, national, and international locations. In addition, students researched a current geographical news story and completed a book review, showcasing their curiosity and growing understanding of the world around them. 🌎📚 The most impressive passports earned a spot on our Excellent Homework Wall, celebrating outstanding attention to detail, fantastic writing, and brilliant effort. 👏 A huge well done to Felicia, Aiden, William, and Daniel for their exceptional work!

In this term's English lessons with Mrs Butler-Hand, Year 7 have explored the powerful world of war poetry, focusing on how poets use language to shape our understanding of conflict. Pupils compared and contrasted the upbeat propaganda of Jessie Pope’s Who’s for the Game? with Wilfred Owen’s harrowing Dulce et Decorum Est, examining how each poet uses imagery, tone and poetic devices to convey very different perspectives on war. To finish the unit, students created their own blackout poems inspired by In Flanders Fields, revealing strikingly original and moving interpretations of the famous text. The unit encouraged thoughtful discussion, creative expression and a deeper appreciation for how poetry captures the realities of war.
