Royal Shakespeare Company Macbeth Workshop

Unfortunately due to technical difficulties at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, Year 11 were unable to attend the opening night of the newest production of ‘Macbeth’.

In place of the trip, the RSC sent a group of its most talented young actors and directors to provide a workshop for the Year 11 students instead.

The entire year group had the opportunity to not only watch the group perform some of the most iconic and pivotal scenes in the play, but to then re-direct the scene based on their own knowledge. The students excelled in utilising their understanding of the characters, key themes and context to change how the actors portrayed the characters, staged the scene and delivered the lines.

The workshop provided an interesting insight in to how theatre is created, as well as providing a valuable revision resource for students in the run up to their GCSE English literature exams – we wish them the best of luck!

Year 8 Swimmers Make Waves at County Championships

We are delighted to announce that two of our Year 8 pupils, Sam C and Grace F, have achieved significant success in the pool, qualifying for and competing at the prestigious County Swimming Championships. Qualification for Counties is a major milestone in the swimming world. To be eligible, swimmers must achieve strict published qualifying times and rank within the top 25 competitors in their age group across the entire county. Both students have demonstrated exceptional talent to reach this elite standard. Sam has secured his place in an incredible variety of events, demonstrating his versatility across both sprints and long-distance endurance races. Representing Berkhamsted Swim Club, Sam will be competing at the Westminster Lodge Leisure Centre in St Albans throughout January. His comprehensive schedule includes: Freestyle: 50m, 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, and 1500m Butterfly: 50m, 100m, and 200m Individual Medley: 100m, 200m, and 400m Matching this high standard of performance is Grace F, who represents the U13 age group. Grace has already secured a fantastic 9th place ranking in the county for the 100m breaststroke. Beyond this individual success, Grace is a dedicated member of Ricky Swim Club and a vital part of the SCD team, regularly representing the school in the Herts League. Reaching this level requires a sustained and high level of commitment. Over the past eight months, both swimmers have balanced intense training schedules and regular licensed galas alongside their academic studies. Their success is a testament not only to their athletic ability but also to their discipline and excellent time management. Please join us in congratulating Grace on her top10 ranking and wis
