Celebration of achievements – Jack Petchey 

We’ve been delighted to celebrate student success recently with our first round of Jack Petchey awards for the academic year 2024-25. Eray and Patricia in year 9 as well as Romina in year 11 were the well deserving recipients of the award this term.

Patirica was nominated for her fantastic work as a student librarian, Eray was nominated for the positive choices he has been making and Romina was nominated by the Food Technology department for her fantastic work in the subject.

We’re rightfully proud of all students for their outstanding contributions to our school community. These students (along with those students who are nominated in the Spring and Summer terms will get to attend the borough wide celebration in July 2025!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Year 10 Employability Programme 

Our fantastic first cohort or year 10 students who participated in the employability programme this term facilitated by Linklaters have finished their programme. Last week the students were able to visit the offices at Linklaters to celebrate the end of their work and present their ideas and learning. 

The students have been engaged in a 10 week programme around CV building and employability skills – a worthwhile endeavour for all involved.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button – Theatre Trip

This week a lucky group of year 9 and 10 students got to watch the new musical based on the Scott F Fitzgerald short story, ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ which was famously turned into a movie. The new production was fantastic and performed by a very talented group of actor musicians who spent their time on stage changing between playing instruments, singing and acting. The students loved the performance and it was a real treat to be out in the West End watching quality theatrical work. 

 

Godwin Lawson – Staying Safe Assemblies

This week the Godwin Lawson foundation has also been in school delivering powerful assemblies and workshops. Speaking from personal experience Yvonne Lawson presented the story of her son who was the tragic victim of knife crime when he was just 17 years old. The assemblies, led by his mother, Yvonne helped our young people to understand the dangers of knife crime and truly reflect on negative stereotypes. We are looking forward to a mentoring programme being set up with Godwin Lawson for some of our students.
