Science Project: Cells

/

Over the past few weeks, pupils in Year 7 have been creating 3D models of cells at home. For many, they went above and beyond, and spent hours creating amazing visualisations of different cells. Making these models is not only fun, but challenges pupils, mixing science and facts with art and creativity. The models will be displayed in classrooms to help pupils remember basic biology facts whilst enhancing the visual appeal of the rooms.

Rowing Mastery

We are delighted to report that Toby G and Bertie D in Year 10 were selected to represent Thames London in a four boat at the British Rowing Junior Inter-Regional Regatta at the weekend at the National Water Sports Centre, Nottingham. Out of 14 regions, they got through to the ‘A’ final and won the silver medal! This is extremely impressive and we congratulate both boys.

Pines Nursing Home Concert

/

After a very busy final week of term in the Music Department, it was a real joy to spend some time giving back to our local community. Our Guitar Group and Year 12 music class visited Pines Nursing Home, where they performed a wonderful selection of pieces for the residents. After the performances, students took time to chat with the residents about music and every day life, sharing stories and smiles.

Referee!

/

Tom R (Year 12) took on the challenge of refereeing at the Rosslyn Park National Schools 7s Rugby Festival. Over three days, he officiated 15 matches, covering age groups from Under-13s to Under-18s, with teams from across England, Scotland, and Wales. As a Young Match Official (YMO), he gained valuable experience working alongside seasoned referees while confidently managing games on his own. Refereeing proved both demanding and rewarding, giving Tom a real insight into the role’s challenges. A standout moment was being entrusted with the tournament mascot—a tradition for the youngest referee—tasked with keeping it safe throughout the event. Well done, Tom!
