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!
Mrs Purdy, Ms Ward, Mr Billitt, and Ms Barben

Last week our Year 9 Sports Students hosted an event for Werrington Primary students. This was a project they had been working on since the start of September, preparing their understanding of the different events they each had to lead. Some students took on lead roles, from the Chair who led the event to those leading each activity, talking to the primary school students and ensuring the event ran smoothly. The students who chose to lead the scoring were also particularly busy on the day, inputting hundreds of scoresheets into the laptop for analysis.
Overall the event was a huge success and the students enjoyed the responsibility of organising and leading the event for the younger students, well done everyone!

Our Year 10 Pathways students organised and hosted the event, supported by our fabulous catering team who cooked up a delicious roast. We were also joined by Miss Ward and her Year 9 and 10 music groups who provided some excellent entertainment and a visit from Santa rounded off the afternoon!
We would like to thank the Love Christmas Hamper Project, Tesco Werrington and Morrisons Peterborough for their kind donations to our event.
