Congratulations to our Year 10!
Our Year 10 boys made history by competing in our very first boys’ netball tournament, hosted right here at school. With two teams, both squads showed incredible skill and determination, winning their pools and finishing as the highest-scoring teams across the competition.
Ms Whale and I were thrilled with not only the effort the boys put in but also the sportsmanship and conduct they displayed throughout. It was an amazing debut for boys’ netball, and a proud moment for everyone involved.

Tech for Good - Girls into STEM Event
On Wednesday, seven of our Year 9 girls had the fantastic opportunity to attend the 'Tech for Good Challenge' hosted at Imperial College London. Designed to inspire young female students to explore technology, engineering, and innovation in a university setting, the day was packed with engaging activities.
The students heard from an inspiring panel of women in engineering and were challenged to design and present their own innovative ideas on how to use technology 'for good.' Putting their practical skills to the test, the girls even successfully built a triangle wave generator using nothing but a circuit diagram!
A major highlight of the day was a fascinating lunchtime demonstration featuring a bionic glove—pictured below!—which allowed the wearer to control a toy dinosaur that perfectly mimicked their hand movements. It was a brilliantly inspiring day for our future engineers.
Thank you to Ms Aydin for orgasnising this fabulous trip for our students.

Half Term History Trip to Berlin
Led by Ms Subramoney, Mr Harvey, Mr Zanjani and Ms Moris, students explored the city’s past through some of its most significant historical sites.
Day 1 – In beautiful winter sunshine, students toured Berlin’s key landmarks, reflecting on the city’s role at the centre of twentieth-century European history, from the rise and fall of Nazi Germany to the division of East and West during the Cold War. The day concluded in true German style with schnitzel and strudel.
Day 2 – Snow fell as students visited the former Stasi Prison Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, once a detention centre run by East Germany’s secret police. The site offers a powerful insight into surveillance and political repression in the German Democratic Republic. Later, there was time to explore Alexanderplatz, a historic public square that became a focal point for protest during the peaceful revolution of 1989.
Day 3 – A moving visit to Sachsenhausen concentration camp provided students with the opportunity to reflect on the realities of the Holocaust. Originally established in 1936, the camp became a model for the wider concentration camp system. The group then visited the DDR Museum, which offers an interactive insight into everyday life in East Germany before reunification.
Snow was still falling as they departed – a fitting backdrop to three days of powerful historical learning.
