Henrician 2022The

Welcome

As I write my welcome message for the 2022 edition of The Henrician, it is with no small degree of relief that I can reflect upon an academic year that has, at last, seen a return to normality following the turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic during the past two and half years. Of course, during the first half of the 2021-22 school year, the coronavirus did continue to cause considerable disruption, as various waves of the virus did impact across the population, including students and staff at Prince Henry’s, and their families.

Thankfully, since April we have seen life return to normal, with our students being able to sit their GCSE and A Level exams for the first time since 2019. A full range of extra-curricular activities (including large numbers of students participating in Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award expeditions), sporting fixtures, school trips and live performances have returned to the school

calendar and are reflected within the pages of this year’s Henrician. Plans are well under way for 2022-23, with the reintroduction of some overseas trips, including skiing and the Sixth Form trip to New York and Washington, both scheduled to take place during the February half-term break in 2023. The school musical, which had to be postponed in 2021 and 2022, will also take place next Spring.

As ever, wider events during the past year have touched all of us. Nothing has impacted us more than the terrible events that have been unfolding in Ukraine since the Russian invasion commenced in February. Within Prince Henry’s, special assemblies and a moment of silent reflection were held, and Interact co-ordinated fundraising activities to make donations to the DEC appeal, as well as more local support for Ukrainian refugees who have come to the Evesham area. In May, several members of staff joined our Year 12 students on a Walk for Peace on the Malvern Hills.

Although the COP26 climate conference of November 2021 seems a long time ago, the issue of climate change is something that is a key concern for everyone. Within Prince Henry’s, students have enthusiastically supported our new Sustainability Club, and a number of trees, as well as a wildflower area have been planted on the school site. We have exciting plans to further develop environmental and sustainability initiatives during the coming months and years and I am sure these will be reflected in next year’s edition of The Henrician.

HEADTEACHER’S WELCOME

There have been some more uplifting moments during the last twelve months – perhaps none more so that the events to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at the start of June, recognising her lifetime of service. On the theme of service, and returning to our students, our wonderful Subject Champions, Student Ambassadors, Senior Prefects and Head Students have served the school well during the last twelve months and we were also delighted that one of our former students, Arthur Williams, was able to join us at this year’s Speech Day. They all embody the Prince Henry’s values, which include acceptance, courtesy, dedication, determination, equality, fairness, integrity, resilience, respect, tolerance, trust and understanding.

Prince Henry’s has enjoyed some notable high points during the last year. Our new purpose-built Conference Centre was opened in February and has already proved to be a wonderful resource for our Teaching School Hub, which has enjoyed a very successful first year, as well as our SCITT, whose 2021/22 cohort of 15 trainees will all be starting their teaching careers this September, with four joining the staff here at Prince Henry’s. After many years of overseeing the arrival and departure of school buses from the public highway outside the front of the main school building, the creation of a new on-site bus bay has made an enormous difference to the safe arrival and departure of our students at the start and end of the day. During the summer, work will be completed on a new and modern base for our Music Department in the Alex Gregory Pavilion, and we are looking forward to the installation of a new 3G football pitch in the coming year.

As we approach the end of this year – my tenth as Headteacher of this wonderful school – as is normal, we must say farewell to the students and staff who will be leaving us and moving on to the next stage in their lives and careers. This year, I must pay tribute to five members of the Teaching Staff who, between them have amassed a remarkable 117 years of dedicated service to Prince Henry’s and its community. After 18 years, Mr John Bridgens, our Head of PE, will be leaving us to take up a Director of Sport position at a school nearer to his home. Earlier this year, Mr Tim Billington (Science) retired, having also been at Prince Henry’s for 18 years. At the end of term, three other colleagues will also be looking forward to a long and happy retirement: Mrs Ellen Bloom (Modern Languages) has been with us for 20 years; Mrs Kate Short (our inspirational Head of RE) has been with us for an incredible 30 years; whilst this achievement is pipped by Mrs Kim Smith (Modern Languages), who will have completed 31 years of service. On behalf of the whole school community, I would like to thank all of these colleagues for all that they have done for the many thousands of students they have taught during their time at Prince Henry’s and to wish them all the very best for the future.

My sincere thanks to all the staff who support our students so well, and to our Governors for their commitment and support. Special thanks also to the team that put this together: Mrs Barker, Mr Dyer and Mrs Bradley.

I am proud to commend the 2022 edition of The Henrician to you.

Dr A Evans, Headteacher July 2022

A WELCOME TO STAFF

At the beginning of the school year we welcomed some new members of staff.

Mr Bornoff joined us as a new Teacher of History and Law. We were also delighted to welcome six graduates from our 2020-21 SCITT cohort: Miss Griffiths (Science); Mr Heafield (Maths); Miss Loverock (English); Mr Pethybridge (Science); Mr Pigott (PE and Maths); and Mrs Watson (Careers, PHSE and Law). Mr Gardner also returned to Prince Henry’s as a Teacher of ICT.

In addition, during the course of this year we welcomed some new colleagues to the support staff: Mrs Charlton, Mrs Foster, Mrs Rees and Mrs Rozga, who have joined our team of Learning Support Assistants; Mr Perks, a new member of our Site Team; and Miss Korkus who has spent a year with us as a Science Technician on a placement year as part of her degree course.

A FAREWELL TO STAFF

As mentioned in the Headteacher’s welcome message, after 18 years’ service, Mr Billington retired as a Teacher of Science at the end of January. One of our IT Technicians, Mr Spence also retired at the end of 2021 after 11 years’ service. During the course of the year we also said farewell to Mr Findlay, our Head of English, who took up an Assistant Headship at another school after 7 years at Prince Henry’s; Mr Samrai (Teacher of ICT – 6 years); Mrs Stanley (Site Supervisor – 16 years) and Mr Holmes (Learning Supervisor).

Dr Evans has already paid tribute to Mrs Smith (Modern Languages – 31 years), Mrs Short (Head of RE – 30 years), and Mrs Bloom (Modern Languages – 20 years), all of whom will be retiring; as well as Mr Bridgens (Head of PE – 18 years), who is taking up a post at another school.

At the end of this year, we will also be saying farewell to Mrs Birch (Geography – 4½ years), who will be taking up a post at another school; Mrs Graham (Food Technician) and Mr Simpson, one of our Learning Supervisors, who will be commencing Initial Teacher Training in September as a member of our 2022-23 SCITT cohort.

We would like to thank all of these colleagues for their hard work and support, and to wish them well for the future.

Head Students & Senior Prefects

After five years, it is bittersweet to be saying goodbye to Prince Henry’s and the wonderful people we have met throughout our time at school. Although we are sad to leave behind the supportive and caring community, we are all incredibly excited for what the future holds, especially as Prince Henrys has prepared us so well for what is yet to come.

Throughout lower school, we were able to join in with many exciting opportunities; there was Future’s Day, which guided us through our decisions in choosing both GCSE and A-Level options, and events such as the Mock Trials, or school shows which allowed us to make friends beyond the classroom and gave us a taster of what we may like to pursue in the future. Additionally, there are so many great clubs that run weekly that we could all get involved with.

Unfortunately, the covid pandemic disrupted our final year of lower school, and our GCSE exams; however, we arrived back in year twelve with fresh faces and an excitement for the next two years. During this time, we grew from teenagers to young adults, and our school motto could not be more fitting as we reflect on how much has changed. We can say with certainty that these two years would have been almost impossible without the brilliant sixth form team. They were there every step of the way to provide a helping hand, or words of encouragement and we know that our whole year group is beyond grateful.

Throughout the ups and downs of Year Thirteen, we have been given so much support, which has been invaluable. In the current climate, with the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the inequalities harming many people around the world, we are all aware of how fortunate we are to have received such an excellent education. Furthermore, we are so proud of how everyone at Prince Henry’s has come together to fundraise and raise awareness to help people and places who could benefit from our support.

Overall, we would just like to say thank you to the people at Prince Henry’s, from individual teachers who have supported our learning and our development, to the sixth form team who helped us with any quandary. Also, the Senior Leadership team who welcomed our ideas and allowed us to join conversations about planning for the future of the school, and finally our fellow students. Our journey wouldn’t have been so spectacular without you.

We will miss the brilliant community of Prince Henry’s so much, but we wish everyone all the best of luck for the future, and hopefully one day we can come back to visit with a few new stories to tell.

GAMES DAY

On Wednesday 6th July nearly 600 students in Years 9 and 10 students embarked on a round robin competition where their House would compete against the other Houses in a variety of activities. It has been wonderful to see extra-curricular activities return to the school calendar as things return to normal post COVID. This year students embarked on: Handball, Football, Rounders, Benchball, Tennis, Table Tennis, Cricket and Boccia. The weather had blessed us and the students did themselves proud with skilful demonstrations, tactical target throwing and outstanding teamwork and team spirit. After a chaotic year, it was amazing to see students engaging fully in competition and thoroughly enjoying themselves. The competition was tight as the points came in; winners in Year 10 were Workman (by 1 point!) and in Year 9 we had a three-way tie with Burlingham, Deacle and Holland all being crowned winners. The points that were awarded in Games Day were then carried over to the House totals that would lead to the House Cup winners, to be announced at the end of Sports Day.

Year 12 students had their own Games event in which they were competing for the Tutor Group Sports Cup. It was a hugely enjoyable morning and all of Year 12 took part representing their tutor groups in what became an extremely competitive morning. They took part in a range of races including egg and spoon relay, sack race relay, over and under balloon relay and ‘dress-up’ relay. The competition culminated in a very hotly contested inter-tutor group tug-of-war. The results were very close at the end with 12HG winning the cup, 12KO in silver medal position and 12MS in taking bronze position. There was some fantastic team spirit with tutor groups dressing to a theme including 12HG in camouflage, 12MS ‘under the sea’, 12TLG in tiaras and diamonds, 12GP in ‘pink and pompoms’, 12JCH in ‘purple and sparkles’ and 12LS in matching team t-shirts bearing their pigeon mascot. It was excellent fun and Year 12, and their tutors, are to be congratulated on their willingness to throw themselves into the activities and the happy atmosphere of friendly rivalry that accompanied the sports.

Prince Henry’s Sports Day did not disappoint this year! It was brilliant to see students compete in the traditional disciplines; track events, jumping events and throwing events. We had our Sixth Form students involved once again, which was a huge success with some brilliant performances. A big congratulations to Lauren Bowers, Harry Vale, Kendra parsons, Kailam Webb, Daisy Edwards and Sunny Stephens for winning the best overall athlete trophies. Furthermore, well done to Deacle who won the overall Sports Day winner’s trophy for years 9, 10 and 12. All students competed to a high standard and their effort and commitment in competing for their House was fantastic. If students were not taking part in any Sports Day events, they were supporting their House by the track. The crowd did a fantastic job of lifting the performances of their peers with their cheering and clapping. A day to remember!

SUSTAINABILITY CLUB

At Sustainability Club we are making small changes around the school in the hope of being as green as possible. Activities include, planting herbs and vegetables, planting a large number of trees and up-cycling to make our own plant pots.

YOUNG VOICES NEW VISIONS EXHIBITION

In June some of our Year 9 sculptural work was on display at Worcester Cathedral as part of the Young Voices New Visions exhibition.

14 pieces of Year 9 artwork were selected for the Young Voices New Visions exhibition at Worcester cathedral. The theme this year was ‘Life’ and the students all created a paper and card sculpture of a bird that was displayed in the medieval cloisters along with other artwork by young people across the county.

On 2th October, Jack was in the final of Britain’s Best Young Driver 2021. It was a great achievement as Jack came in the top 20 children in the 14-16 age group in the UK after having only 2 driving lessons. There were over 100,000 driving lessons carried out in the UK in the last year and for Jack to come in the top 1%, is fantastic.

Although Jack was a runner up his driving was superb and hopefully, he can continue the lessons and try and achieve a place in next years final.

He was presented with a medal and a driving lesson by former Top Gear presenter Quentin Wilson.

There was an article published in the Evesham Journal with further information for you to read and I believe there may be more press releases.

WORKING WORLD VISITS PRINCE HENRY’S INTERACT

On Wednesday 17th November Interact invited Working World, a local charity, to join us for an afternoon of IT and games. We set up Scratch for the Interactors to teach Working World clients about coding and how games are made. We also planned to play the Retro-computer games Mario Kart and Tetris for quick thinking and coordination, and Battleships and Connect4 for strategy and learning coordinates

At the end of the activities, we had all learned some basic coding. We finished with an informal awards ceremony. Certificates had been designed before the event for the clients to take with them to remember their afternoon with us. Interact very much enjoyed hosting a Working World activity; meeting the clients and making friends was fun and we are hoping to spend more time with them in the future.

GRAND OPENING OF DEACLE BUILDING

On 14th January 2022, we held the grand opening of our Deacle Building which was formally opened by Robin Walker MP (Minister of State for School Standards) and our local MP, Nigel Huddleston MP (Minister for Sport, Tourism, Heritage and Civil Society). Our two guests were invited for a tour of our new Sixth Form Centre where they had the chance to meet our Head Students and some of our SCITT Trainees. The tour concluded with the official opening of the Deacle building and a walk around the new Art, Design and Technology facilities.

SIXTH FORM CHRISTMAS MARKET TRIP

On Wednesday 8th December 250 students from Years 12 and 13 enjoyed a Christmas social trip to Birmingham. Students enjoyed sampling the many German delicacies such as Pretzels, schnitzels, hot chocolate, bratwursts, and stollen for sale in the German market and also managed to get ahead with their Christmas shopping both in the Christmas Craft market and the more traditional stores. There were also fairground attractions such as a traditional Carousel and many students took to the ice, with varying degrees of success, on the outdoor skating rink. The afternoon provided a welcome break from studying after a busy first term for Year 12 and November’s Year 13 mock examinations.

UCAS HIGHER EDUCATION EXHIBITION

100 Year 12 students attended the Higher Education exhibition at the University of Worcester on 24th March to begin their research into the opportunities that they have post A levels. With over 120 exhibitors there were lots of different stalls offering a wide range of options for the students to consider. The vast majority were representatives from universities and colleges but there were also exhibitors giving information about apprenticeships and internships as well as representatives from the Armed Forces. UCAS experts were also on hand to answer questions about the more general aspects of applying to university. The students all came away heavily laden with prospectuses from the different institutions as well as other promotional goodies: pens, tote-bags, water bottles, and confectionery. The exhibition marks the beginning of the careers process for year 12. We hope that they will read through all the materials that they have gathered and begin to consider the different types of courses and opportunities on offer. In June we will have our internal Next Step Conference at which they will attend talks and workshops delivered by universities, colleges, employers, and providers of apprenticeships, internships and gap years. Following this their tutors will use form time to deliver other aspects of our careers programme and to help students who are looking at university to begin their application process.

Prince Henry’s School News

March 9th proved to be an exciting day for Prince Henry’s as it was the day we were visited by an external verifier Mr Stanley of the Young Citizens organisation. The purpose of said visit was to verify our work and position relating to SMSCD – that being Spiritual Moral Social and Cultural Development.

A number of our students and governors took part in the process which involved a rigorous interview and questioning about their experiences of school life here at Prince Henry’s. Students shared their reflections and answers with confidence and an articulation that was inspiring in its own right.

”As students we found d this very rewarding, the opportunity given allowed us to raise queries, but mostly we talked about the strengths of the school, some students talked about the impact of the curriculum has on their everyday life and how it inspires them to ‘speak up.”

Mr Stanley himself commented:

“The whole visit was a real pleasure, it was so interesting and valuable to see and hear about the life of your school, including the fabulous facilities and exciting plans for the future. ……your students spoke so eloquently and enthusiastically about the tremendous SMSC related opportunities provided for them across the school.

You should be rightly proud that you have achieved such a high accolade for the work you are undertaking for SMSC – Congratulations.

“We were delighted to find out that we have been awarded with not only gold but Beacon status, as we believe it genuinely reflects the community of Prince Henry’s.

PRIDE

FOR

In conjunction with School Diversity Week, the Y12 students of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Party organised a Pride Workshop for students of all Year groups to come together and celebrate Pride Month. Students wrote positive messages on cards inspired by the Pride flag. A number of students displayed their messages outside to show that at Prince Henry’s, we stand together to support LGBTQ+ equality.

SMSCD BEACON STATUS

Year 12 student Kiaragh Brown enjoyed meeting Nigel Huddleston MP when he visited school to congratulate her on being selected to participate in the Queen’s Baton Relay for the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Kiaragh was nominated for all the Charity and Community work that she has done over the past 4 years. Kiaragh is a Youth Ambassador for Pancreatic Cancer UK, has raised money for British Heart Foundation and has been instrumental in getting a defibrillator installed in Church Lench and Rous Lench. Kiaragh also works in a soup kitchen in Evesham and participates in a wide range of activities both in and out of school. Kiaragh earned the baton in Pershore on 22nd July and then attended the Opening Ceremony of the Commonwealth Games with the other volunteers on 28th July.

We are incredibly proud of Kiaragh who has raised £30,000 for the Charities which she has supported and are delighted that her hard work, sense of community, kindness and determination to work for good causes has been recognised through the awarding of this honour. We will all be cheering for her on 22nd July!

KIARAGH CHOSEN AS BATONBEARER FOR QUEEN!

Prince Henry’s School

Prince Henry’s Music Department has been awarded £1,500 from Tesco in Evesham as part of their Community Grant Scheme. This funding will enable us, as well as our feeder middle schools, to offer whole-class Brass and Woodwind instrumental teaching to all our students from September 2022. We very much look forward to this new and exciting opportunity and are incredibly grateful for the donation.

SING FOR PEACE

Bring and Sing Faure Requiem event took place at All Saints Church on Saturday 7th May. Prince Henry’s Chamber Choir joined ex-students and other local singers to raise money for the Ukrainian crisis and the Music Department Scholarship Fund. The evening raised over £900. Thank you to all who took part.

CARDING MILL VALLEY

Our Geography class went on an expedition into the mountains of Shropshire, to visit Carding Mill Valley. It was a very sunny day and there were lots of tourists visiting the area, but we still managed to complete our work. On this trip we did not just have a fun time, but an educational time.

We went into the giant mountains and measured how the river changes from the upper to lower course. Whilst enjoying fun facts from our guide, Fiona. We surprised our guide, with our in-depth knowledge of Rivers. This trip also allowed us to see landforms that we had learnt about in the classroom such as interlocking spurs.

This trip combined human and physical Geography. We learnt about the buildings from the industrial era and ancient history from the geology. The rocks were formed 300 million years ago (they were formed before the dinosaurs existed).

PRINCE HENRY’S INTERACT

PRINCE HENRY’S INTERACT 2022-23

This school year has seen Interact grow and flourish.

For the previous eighteen months Covid restrictions had made it difficult to organise community events and fundraisers and the new committee were keen to put some fun events on the calendar and raise some money for charity.

Interact chose Magic Breakfast as our local/national charity, having been inspired by Marcus Rashford’s campaign to ensure school children are well fed.

Images of devastation after widespread wildfires across the world last summer led to students choosing World Wildlife Fund for Nature to support initiatives to combat the effects of Climate Change for our international charity.

A few Interactors have written their thoughts about some of this year’s events.

PURPLE 4 POLIO

Planting 4000 crocus on the riverbank near Hampton Ferry crossing was my first Interact event, being in year 9 I really enjoyed talking to everyone in the club. The atmosphere was fun. We had lunch together before walking back to school. The crocus display is to raise awareness of the Rotary campaign to eradicate Polio worldwide.

FRIDAY FUN

This has been an integral part of my experience in Interact. As a Year 10 student, planning an event in a short period of time and trying out new ideas each week to provide a fun event for other students is fantastic!’ 1 joined Interact after helping my friends behind the Friday Fun stalls. I enjoyed the feeling of companionship among Interactors, helping out and overall making a difference by fundraising for charity.

EASTER CHOCOLATE COLLECTION TREE OF LIGHT

We filled a car full of chocolate donated by PHHS students and dropped them of at Caring Hands. It was lovely to take our donations to bring happiness to others outside of our school.

This was such an enjoyable experience. Interact helped light candles, sell mince pies and non-alcoholic mulled wine. We were able to interact with the people of Evesham and spread Christmas cheer.

CHRISTMAS VEGETABLE COLLECTION

Having a lot of Interactors get to school early to set up the collection point was great and made me glad I was part of this event which demonstrates the community spirit here at school. We collected such a variety of vegetables and filled so many boxes which hopefully helped families in crisis in the wider community to celebrate Christmas.

JUBILEE

‘I baked some buttercream cupcakes for the Queen’s Jubilee bake sale. Seeing all the cakes, games and the decorations was very fun and I was happy all my cakes sold.

PEACE DAY FOR

Together Interact organised a cake sale alongside a day for reflection. All students were encouraged to think about causes of conflict and peaceful conflict resolution. Pin badges were distributed and a collection made for DEC fund Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. We were thinking about all those affected by the conflict.

DROP THE MIC

This was my favourite event of the year because it was great to see the whole school community and relatives being able to come together in the theatre but we also raised over £1000 for our chosen charities. It was a spectacular show of talent too.

ROUNDERS

In July, our U14 Rounders Team became the Worcestershire County Champions after beating five other schools.

LEAH WINS GOLD

Leah competed at the Junior Sculling Regatta at the Olympic Rowing Lake at Eton on Monday. She achieved Gold in a very close and exciting race. Leah also beat all the 17-year-olds and all bar 1 of the 18-year-old girls too, many of whom have just been selected for the Under 19 GB team World Championships which bodes well for when she trials for the Under 19 team next year.

Earlier in April, Leah competed at the Junior Inter-Regional Regatta. The UK gets split into 12 regions and each region holds trials to select its top team for the event. Leah was selected to represent the West Midlands in the single scull event. Leah then had to compete against the top sculler from each of the 11 other regions.

The conditions at the National Water Sports Centre in Nottingham were horrendous! You can see the waves in the picture below which in a boat weighing only 13kg are exceptionally difficult to stay upright in. Leah won Gold making her again the top sculler in the UK.

Congratulations Leah, these are wonderful achievements and we are all very proud of you.

COMMONWEALTH GAMES FESTIVAL

Many of our students took part in the Commonwealth Games Festival this year. They participated in Boogie Bounce, Martial Arts and Parquor.

BETH SELECTED FOR U21 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

Following on from Beth’s success in the Racketlon British Championships she has been selected to represent Great Britain in the U21 team World Championships taking place in Vienna, Austria in August. Racketlon is a sport where one match involves playing a game of table tennis, followed immediately by a game of badminton, then squash and finally tennis. Each sport is played to 21 points and the player with the most points at the end wins the match.

Beth’s success continued this weekend, where, along her with her doubles partner she won the East Midlands regional round of Play Your Way to Wimbledon meaning, that she, along with 23 other pairs in the Country have been invited to play in the National Finals at Wimbledon in August.

MADDIE, CERYS AND MAISIE ARE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS

We are delighted to learn that Maddie Miles-Kingston, Cerys Godwin and Maisie Rosewell represented England at the European Junior Touch Rugby Championships in Vichy, France in August and became European Champions! All three received gold medals!

Maisie was the top try scorer for England mixed 15s team scoring 12 tries in 8 games. Maddie and Cerys were also incredibly successful in scoring, including a hattrick by Cerys!

This is a wonderful achievement you have all worked so hard for, we are proud to share the photos of your success. Well done Maddie, Cerys and Maisie.

JASMINE GIRVAN – EQUESTRIAN GAMES ODE

Jasmine Girvan qualified for and competed in the School Equestrian Games One Day Event (ODE) at Calmsden on Saturday on her horse ‘My Friend Flicker’. She was the only one competing for Prince Henry’s high school in the SEG 80cm.

The ODE has 3 phases including dressage, showjumping (80cm) and then a cross country (XC) course also 80cm. The XC course was full to height and as it was a championship many of the jumps were bigger than the 80cm course at Broadway where she qualified. Also, there is an optimum time for the XC course and competitors pick up penalties for going too slow or too fast.

Jasmine did an excellent dressage test getting a score of 33.25. She went clear in the showjumping despite having little time to warm up due to a trip to the mobile farrier for a new front shoe. The cross country course was last with 20 gruelling jumps and 5 combinations all to be covered in the optimum time of 6minutes 16 seconds. Jasmine and Flicker flew around the course completing all the jumps in a record time but unfortunately going too fast and picking up 9.60 time penalties throwing her out of 5th place and finishing with a score of 42.85.

Jasmine and Flicker did an amazing job competing for the school in their first season of One-Day Eventing together. They look forward to coming back bigger and stronger next season.

CRICKET

Top Row:

Bottom Row:

Lewis Rollinson, Henry Judge, Daryl Mitchell, Rowan Snell, Liam Webb

On 22nd July, Prince Henry’s 1st XI played its prestigious annual fixture against the MCC at Pershore cricket club. Prince Henry’s Captain, Rowan Snell, conceded the toss; with the sun out and the pitch looking hard and flat, the MCC chose to bat first. Tidy opening spells from Liam Webb and Will Wilson had the MCC at 36 for 2 but with a couple of chances just evading the slip cordon the quality of the MCC side began to show. James Cokayne, and former county cricketer, Matthew Pardoe of Worcestershire, put on 131 for the third wicket before Lewis Rollinson got the breakthrough, taking the prized scalp of the ex-pro Pardoe, clean bowled. Cokayne fell soon after to the excellent bowling of Webb, who finished with figures of 11 overs 2 maidens 3 for 48. Next to the crease came Prince Henry’s alumni and former Worcestershire captain of 6 years, Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell made 42 from 43 balls before Spencer Braughton had him caught by Finn Burford. The MCC closed their innings after 46 overs setting Prince Henry’s an imposing 251 to win.

Joe Burford and Rowan Snell opened the second innings for Prince Henry’s but found life difficult against a high-quality MCC attack. Shears and Pardoe claimed the wickets of Webb, Snell, and Rollinson while Burford battled well and survived at the other end. Matthew Turner now joined Burford with the score at 363. With the victory now seeming unlikely, both looked to survive in hope of claiming a draw. Burford was solid in defence, lasting an hour and twenty before falling lbw to spin of Van Daesdonk. This brought Ben Price to the crease with Turner; they both managed to survive for almost an hour. However, when Turner was dismissed, new batsman Henry Judge followed soon after, and when a smart bit of fielding from Mitchell had Price run out, Prince Henry’s were left in dire straights with just 3 wickets remaining.

With wickets falling and the MCC closing in on a win, Finn Burford and Will Wilson decided to put the pressure back on the MCC, playing freely in a sparkling counter-attacking display. This dulled the momentum the MCC had built, Burford hitting 5 boundaries ended with 30 from 31 not out, guiding Prince Henry’s to a very respectable and hard-earned draw. At the end of the game, the MCC conducted their usual post-game ceremony. Liam Webb was presented with the award for the player of the match and the spirit of cricket for his outstanding performance with the ball, and all-round competitive but good-natured attitude on the field.

HOUSE CUP WINNERS

OUR SPORTS DAY WINNERS

House Cup Winners

Throughout the year students have contributed points to their House via House Points, Inter House competitions and other events. These points are added together at the end of the year to award the House with the most points.

POETRY

In their English lessons during the Summer Term, our Year 9 students have been studying poetry by a diverse range of contemporary poets. They have been inspired to get creative themselves and once again, the English Department has been treated to some fantastic poetry. Prompted by Carol Ann Duffy’s use of symbolism, Benjamin Zephaniah’s and John Agard’s use of repetition and refrain, the imagery of Grace Nichols and Sharon Olds’ use of the ode form, our students have produced their own poems on a range of topics. Our students’ poetry gives a fantastic insight into the issues and ideas which are important to our young people at this moment in time. It is truly an inspiration to hear the hope and aspiration in the voices of our young poets. We hope you enjoy reading it; we are certainly delighted to be able to share their work with you.

Mrs A Lee July 2021

The Projector Elaina Groom

Not flowers or a box of chocolates, A metal square, glass lens at the front. A projector, dispersing light. Light of my life.

A metal square, glass lens at the front. A preojector, showing us life. My future.

A metal square, glass lens at the front. A projector, showing tutorials. Teaching us.

You, my love, are my projector.

Hole Punch

Johnny Stevens

I remember the day I gave you my hold punch. Later that day, you punched a hole in my heart. I will never forget the heaviness of sorrow I felt, When you said the words that could tear even the strongest paper.

Pictures

Louisa Fordham

Hung on the wall

A constant reindeer. The pictures, however bright or dull will stay in my memories.

Coated in colour, Clinging to the wall, Clinging to me, Tying me to my past.

How I wish my imagination could wipe away my memories But no matter how hard I try, the pictures… …Survive.

The Plant Elaina Groom

The plant that stood on its shelf, Always forgetting to feed it, Always reminding myself.

The plant that’s always there, Seeing me laugh, And cry over my hair.

The plant that has been through my ups and downs, Heard all my problems, All my smiles and frowns.

My plant is standing tall. Some may think it is lonely But that’s not a bad thing. Not a bad thing at all.

The Beach Lauren Vale

Sand between your toes The wind in your hair. The waves slowly creeping closer and closer.

Whistling, screaming, A cacophony of clouds. Beneath, birds call over and over.

Darkness emerging, Rain starts falling, Wave by wave: again and again.

The beach subsiding, The pain overwhelming. Silence. You start crying.

A Broken Chair

Grace Godfrey

A broken chair; A lover hard to bear.

When love makes you grow weary And your lover leaves you teary, You can’t rely on them any more.

Like a broken chair, love can’t carry all, The weight can be too much. It falls apart, your love runs dry As you fall to the ground All you can do is cry.

Ode to a Pen Nic Leaver

The pen is working. Its steady flow expresses life through movement. Making its lifelong journey

Full of ink, colour and possibility.

Vibrant and useful.

The pen is broken.

The stream has come to a stop.

The beat of its heart has finally ceased. The barrel inside, once full of opportunity, Now an empty voide of silence. Dark and unwanted.

CHRISTMAS

Although our Christmas Concert had to be performed to a empty auditorium, the concert was filmed and enjoyed by parents and carers online. We are delighted that by the time of the Summer Concert, we were able to perform once again in-person to a real live audiance in The Henrician Theatre.

I want to express my sincere thanks to all staff who contributed and helped with our concerts this year.

Mr Bullas
