It's

the taking part that counts!

Across the year there will be a number of competitions for students and staff to get involved in across the Junior, Senior and Sixth Form.

The autumn term has been jam-packed full of competitions, quizzes and interform challenges! One of the first House events across the Junior and Senior School was the Tug of War competition. Moreton's Piece came alive with cheers of encouragement which saw Moreton in the Senior School and Campbell in the Junior School come out on top.

To celebrate Halloween, Mr Humphreys led the Pumpkin Carving Competition which gave way to an eerie atmosphere in Big School later in the evening.

Congratulations to Olivia Hobbs (Nechells) for coming 1st place, 2nd place went to Esha Bharj (Moreton), 3rd place was awarded to Charlotte Chung (Offley) and finally, 4th place went to William Bowles (Jenyns). The Year 7 winner for this year's spooky competition was Eydi Grant and the winning staff entry went to Mrs Dyer.

Have you seen our new House ties?

After a very successful and eventful House Reveal in July, students in Years 8 - Upper Sixth were given their new House ties on the first day back to School in September.

The House system continues flourish across the Senior School with our new pastoral hub in The Derry and the competitive edge that being assigned to a House gives each student. House events and competitions are certainly bringing our community even closer together.

The Bake Off returns in style

Well done to everyone who took part in this year's Junior and Senior School Bake Off competitions!

The Senior School competition saw Big School full to the brim with biscuits, cupcakes, cookies and showstoppers. Year 11 student Favour Apata (Moreton) won the competition after Mr Frazer was blown away by her showstopping two-tier WGS themed cake; topped with House ties, school books, pens and the crest –it certainly defined School life. Supporting Macmillian Cancer Support, the tasty treats were sold to staff and students at break and lunchtime and raised over £500 for the charity

Keep an eye out for more competitions, where winners receive extra prizes!
