Reteaching
One of the most powerful learning techniques, reteaching was taken on board and put into practice by Year 11 Global Perspectives candidates as they shared knowledge they had gleaned about their upcoming written exam in terms of its challenges, component contents, criteria, and expectations. A few of the 6Cs and Deep Learning were evident, providing for an enjoyable and beneficial lesson segment.

PSHE - How is it like in KS3
In our classes, we follow the PSHE curriculum, which allows students to choose topics they feel are important and impactful in their lives. This Wednesday, Year 8 students engaged in a meaningful discussion on several topics with their peers. Among these, the topic of Drug and Alcohol Misuse stood out as particularly significant.
The students recognized the profound impact this issue has, not only on themselves but also on their families. They highlighted various negative consequences associated with drug and alcohol misuse and educated their peers on different types of drugs and their categories.
The session took an emotional turn when some students courageously shared personal real-life experiences. Their stories left the room in silence, underscoring the gravity of the topic and its relevance to their lives.
We were deeply moved and honored to have facilitated such an important and heartfelt discussion.

Year 9 English Explore History and Chapter 1 of Animal Farm
Year 9 English students recently presented their creative projects on Chapter 1 of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, focusing on the historical context of the Russian Revolution. The students explored how the Manor Farm symbolizes pre-revolutionary Russia, drawing parallels between the discontent of the animals under Mr. Jones and the struggles of the Russian working class under Tsar Nicholas II.
Through engaging presentations, students analyzed Old Major’s speech, likening it to the revolutionary ideals of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. They also examined Orwell’s use of symbolism and foreshadowing in Chapter 1, showing how the early unity of the animals reflects the optimism of the revolution’s beginnings. Visual aids, timelines, and dramatic reenactments brought these ideas to life, connecting the novel’s allegory to real historical events.
The projects didn’t just look back—they also highlighted the relevance of Animal Farm today, reflecting on themes of power, inequality, and rebellion. A Q&A session allowed students to delve deeper into how Orwell’s opening chapter sets the stage for the story’s unfolding commentary on totalitarianism.
Congratulations to the Year 9 students for their insightful work, demonstrating creativity, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of both literature and history.
