From leading events and participating in extracurricular activities to making outstanding contributions in lessons, our students are truly making themselves and the school proud. Well done to everyone, and keep up the fantastic work!

In September, over 30 students auditioned for our talent show! In December, 11 acts performed in the KSA's Got Talent Final, an absolutely incredible evening! Our audience was fantastic and enjoyed a wonderful show led by our compères, Mr Housley, Mrs Willoughby, Anastasia Szasz and Darren Darwesh. Our judges, Thomas Ward, Jen Sothmann, and Mr Akhtar, kept us all in suspense before naming the winners.
Well done to our winning students this year:
- 1st - Nicholas Da Silva
- 2nd - Amina Gul, Isla Becker, and Phillipa Adlam
- 3rd - Angel Yonga
Mrs Fowkes and Mrs Greeves were named our winning staff members amid some tough competition!
A huge well done to all of our performers from Years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 14, and our staff acts: Mr Billson, Mr Conor, Mr Ahmed, Mr Tillson, Mr Quinn, and Mr Winlock.
We cannot wait to see what talent 2025 brings!
Thank you to Mr Butterworth, Mrs Eldred, and Oscar too, for lights, sound, and keeping everything organised front of house!
