Year 10 Football Success

This week the year 10 football team took part in a 5 a side football tournament. The team played 9 football matches, managing to convincingly win 7 of the matches. Patrick was the competition top goal scorer after effortlessly scoring 3 goals all games in except 1. Excellent performance from the team but a special mention for Musa who played in defence and was as solid as a rock when protecting our goal. 

Well done to Mr Durrant and the rest of the team for a fantastic sporting success!

African School’s Partnership

This week saw the second meeting of our partner school in Sierra Leone.  Duke’s has been partnered with Lumley Secondary School which is part of EduAid – an educational charity based in the country. Over the course of the next two terms Duke’s plans to partner with Lumley Secondary School on a project around ‘Oracy for Democracy’ – the project will include students from Duke’s meeting with students from Lumley Secondary School through virtual meetings and sharing their ideas on how we best champion student voice. We aim to learn from each other. 

Our student leadership team at Duke’s had a great and lively meeting with the students in Sierra Leone comparing different aspects of student voice with an exciting project lined up for the final part of the summer term.
