Celebration Evening and Sports Awards

Last week we celebrated the individual successes of our pupils and students at two memorable evening events: the Sports Awards and our Celebration Evening, where parent and award-winning film editor Peter H Oliver delivered an inspiring keynote on his journey to success. We were honoured to welcome trustees from the OWMT to both occasions and who presented the prestigious HR King Award at Celebration Evening.

Year 12 Hastings Visit

On Monday 7th July, the Year 12 Geography A Level class went on a field trip to Hastings. The trip was an ideal opportunity to test fieldwork techniques studied in class and witness key geographical processes in action. The students used different techniques to measure the beach profiles in two locations. They looked at the impact of longshore drift by measuring the height of sediment either side of groynes. Some students also attempted to measure the rate of longshore drift with home-painted pink pebbles, which was a less successful method! In addition the students sketched the numerous types of human management of the coast.

Concert Band at The Wimbledon Championships

On Wednesday 9th July, our Concert Band had the honour of performing again at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships. Now in our second year at this prestigious event, the band were truly outstanding - entertaining hundreds of spectators and creating a vibrant atmosphere ahead of the quarter-final matches.

We are incredibly proud of their professionalism and musical talent. A huge thank you to Mr James Robinson for his dedication and hard work in preparing the band for such a high-profile occasion.
