A group of L6 Historians travelled to Hampton Court Palace for an ‘A-Level Study Day’. The event featured a range of different activities to deepen their understanding of the course. After an enlightening lecture from Dr Tracy Borman, a renowned Tudor historian and Chief Historian at Historic Royal Palaces, the students enjoyed an interactive classroom session, where they analysed and evaluated Hampton Court as a historical source for understanding Henry VIII. The day finished with a presenter-led tour of the palace, providing first-hand insights into its rich Tudor history. @historicroyalpalaces . #hamptoncourtpalace #historyalevel #tudorhistory #henryviii

10 students from our Third, Fourth and Fifth Forms (Yrs 9,10 & 11) competed in the 'Top of the Bench' Chemistry competition. This involves employing practical and problem solving skills to complete an experiment and Chemistry questions under timed conditions. It was a fantastic morning involving much tussling with tricky puzzles and working with experiments that pupils wouldn't meet in normal lessons. Congrats to year group winners: Cauan, Matthew, Luca and Cam! . #chemistry #topofthebench #problemsolving

Third Form pupils enjoyed visiting Bletchley Park, delving into the incredible work of Alan Turing and the many brilliant minds who contributed to WWII in such a profound way. They engaged in exciting hands-on workshops learning how to break their own ciphers, a challenging and enlightening task. A guided tour taught the boys about the challenges faced by the codebreakers, how their work helped shorten the war, and how their achievements remained a secret for many years. A memorable and insightful visit providing our pupils with a greater respect for the role of code-breaking and Maths in modern history. . #bletchleypark #AlanTuring #codeciphers #wwiihistory

The half term ended on a high with an incredible Junior Production, 'The SpongeBob Musical', featuring a cast, band and crew of nearly 40 pupils! It was an exuberant and polished performance from our three youngest year groups. An independent reviewer from the National School Theatre Awards attended one of the performances and some highlights from their glowing review are: "The production was a testament to the students' unwavering commitment, theatrical ingenuity, and creative enthusiasm." "The evening was a celebration of youthful creativity, theatrical passion, and ensemble collaboration". "The supporting cast members demonstrated a deep engagement with their roles, ensuring that even the briefest character appearances contributed meaningfully to the overall production."
