Junior Outdoor Adventures

Have you spotted the new outdoor play area for the Junior School?

The summer break gives School the opportunity to undertake large projects that otherwise would be impossible during term time. Do you remember the overhaul of the Sixth Form library last year to make way for the new library and Learning Hub?

This summer’s plans had to be scaled back because of COVID-19, but Mr Peters wanted to make sure that the Junior children had their new outdoor play area. Hopefully it won’t be long before the children can make good use of the new equipment.

Ben Miller hosts Virtual Masterclass for students

In July, for our final celebrity author event of this academic year, we virtually welcomed actor and comedian, Ben Miller. Ben delivered an entertaining Zoom presentation linked to his latest book, 'The Boy Who Made the World Disappear’, to students from Years 5 to 10.

In the book, main character Harrison tries his best to be good. He doesn't steal, he always shares with his sister and he never cheats at board games, but Harrison also has a big flaw ... he can't control his temper! When he's given a black hole instead of a balloon at a party, Harrison jumps at the chance to get rid of everything that makes him cross. But when it's not just things he hates that are disappearing into the black hole but things he loves, too, Harrison starts to realise that sometimes you should be careful what you wish for!
