Posted on: 28/11/2021Humanutopia WorkshopLast week, all year 8 pupils participated in an annual workshop called Humanutopia. Humanutopia is a workshop which focuses on how our past may have got us to where we are now but, the future (and power!) is in our hands. Khadijah B in Year 8 reflects and says "In the Humanutopia workshop we focused on who we are and how our choices affect ourselves and the people we are going to be in the future. We also learnt that it's important to see other people's perspectives and how listening is sometimes better than talking. I enjoyed it because it showed me that everyone is different and there is always a chance to make improvements. Thank you for the chance to be part of the workshop."
Posted on: 24/11/2021KS4 VolleyballBy Lola in Year 11 On Wednesday, the 24th of November, our school’s KS4 volleyball team beat Central Foundation Girls School in an exhilarating game held at the opponent’s school. Our team finished the game with a 2-1 score. Each match’s score was: 1. 13-15 (loss) 2. 16-14 (win) 3. 7-2 (win) It is worth noting that our players maintained their motivation and resilience throughout the game and did not allow a temporary defeat to douse their spirit. Although the first match was won by the Central Foundation team, and the second a close call; those amazing volleyball players were able to keep the morale high, spared no effort on the volleyball court and were encouraging and supportive of each other off-court. Everyone is so proud of you, well done!

Posted on: 22/11/2021Macbeth WorkshopLast Friday, GCSE Drama students participated in a Macbeth Design workshop led by The Almeida Theatre. The workshop was a follow-up to their theatre trip where they watched The Tragedy of Macbeth, starring Saoirse Ronan. In the workshop, students worked alongside theatre-maker Roberta Zuric, who led tasks and activities around the design aspect of the show. Sidra from Year 10 says We took part in discussions and created installations using various objects based on key themes from the play. Personally, I think it was a very good learning experience and it was lots of fun. I would like to thank the Almeida Theatre for making this workshop possible for us to participate in.
Posted on: 15/11/2021Languages Spelling BeeThis week, Year 7 took part in a French and Spanish Spelling Bee. Five students from each class had to stand up in front of the whole language cohort and spell out as many French or Spanish words as they could in one minute in the target language alphabet . The students showed huge courage to perform in front of their peers in a foreign language; one student said, 'I was so scared before it, but I'm very happy I did it!' Congratulations to all participating students. The French winner was Sumiya, and the Spanish winner was Kelly.
