This week, we've taken a stand against bullying with engaging assemblies that inspire unity, empathy, and kindness. Our goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment for every student.
Highlights from the assemblies included readings and a drama performance piece from students in different year groups – thank you and well done to those involved!
Please continue this important dialogue at home. Ask your child about their experiences and share your insights on promoting kindness and understanding. Together, we can make a lasting impact on our school community.

Under discussion at this month's BookClub was The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, a quite long and not-altogether happy read as you would expect from the theme, content and historical setting.
The new books given out were The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare for Years 7 and 8 and A Terrible Kindness by Jo Browning Wroe for the older students. This latter novel is based on the Aberfan disaster of 1966 when a colliery tip engulfed the Pantglas Primary School killing 116 children and 28 adults.
Book Club is now being attended by representatives from all Year groups which is really heartening. The reading initiatives within the school are clearly paying off. Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 13th December so why not pop along!

Remembrance is such an important part of who we are.
Today we held our own Remembrance ceremony. As a teacher at Ken Stimpson and now Headteacher, I have never felt such pride in our community. The students and staff were beyond a credit to the school. An experience fuelled with respect and positive emotion. Simply incredible.

Headteacher

As part of our recognition of Black History Month, during October our Science Faculty hosted a "Who am I? - Black Scientists" competition where students were challenged to identify scientists from information displayed around the Faculty.
Yesterday we celebrated with our winners who both correctly identified all of the scientists! Well done to you both and enjoy your Amazon vouchers!
