THANKS SET TEAM!
YOUNG WRITERS’ POETRY TRIALS
Maya Koski-Wood writes: At set club, we painted the backdrop for Our House - but it wasn’t just painting it was laughing and chatting too. I really enjoyed it, and despite the few of us we managed to create a great set after a lot of work and effort. Thanks to everyone involved.
Mrs Monaghan writes: The English Department recently entered Young Writers' The Poetry Trials competition. We are delighted to announce that 67 students from Years 7, 8 and 9 have been successful and now have the opportunity to be published within a special anthology. Students work appears in The Poetry Trials - London and Middlesex and will be available in the British Library and a copy will be available in our school library after publication on the 30th June.

A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE Ms Sen writes: To enrich and support the AS English Literature curriculum and their study of the exam text 'A Streetcar Named Desire' by Tennessee Williams, Year 12 students attended a series of lectures at Euston given by university professors from all over the country who gave them an insight into some of the key ideas of the play. The day enabled the students to become more confident in their understanding of the text and, moreover, how to crack what can be the most challenging assessment objective of them all: context! The day went well and we all felt we were richer for the shared perspectives on the play. Hopefully, these lectures coupled with the hard work and determination of students and teachers alike will enable the current Year 12 students of English Literature to succeed in their exams.
