On June 20th our Year 10 Art students were invited to a clay workshop afterschool. Their task for the session was to make a clay eye which will be painted using acrylics to create a realistic eye with a reflective surface in the eye ball. This can then be added to their Reflections coursework, which they are completing at the present time.
Well done to all those who attended, your work looks great so far!

Yesterday we were honoured to welcome to our school Mr Liu Zhongbao, Principal of the Suzhou Foreign Language School and our visiting international students. It was very interesting to spend some time with Mr Zhongbao and hear all about the school and district our visitors come from.
The visit also included a very emotional gathering for the students as they received letters from home, after five long weeks in England it was clearly a very special moment to them all. The visit concluded with a tour of our school for Mr Liu Zhongbao and his team, quite a different campus to the 20 much larger schools he oversees in China!

This week, our school has been commemorating the 80th Anniversary of D-Day in History lessons and assemblies, culminating in a special remembrance service during our Year 8 assembly today.
With a parade of some of the allied country flags, presentation and Mr Whales lighting a special candle to represent peace, we took a moment to remember the bravery of those who fought for our freedom on this pivotal day.
Thank you to our students who helped Mr Winlock and Mr Gale deliver such a thought-provoking assembly.
