Welcoming Positivity in 2021

Students were inspired by the second assembly of the year presented by Miss Laporta, English teacher, reflecting on the more positive events which took place in 2020 and how to enter 2021 productively and with a greater positive mindset.

Miss Laporta discussed momentous events, to name a few, the US presidential elections which saw the first woman vice president elected from Black and Asian descent, Kamala Harris and the discussions which needed to be had surrounding the civil rights movement in light of the death of George Floyd. The assembly also highlighted the fantastic and heroic work of our NHS and some of the great individuals who have made a difference to the community, such as Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised over £32 Million for charity last year at the age of 99!

Students were also encouraged to immerse themselves into reading more in 2021 and a list of highly recommended books was provided.

Sporting Success: A Season of Triumphs for the PE Faculty

It has been an exceptional start to the year for our sports teams, with pupils across Year 7 and Year 11 delivering outstanding performances on the pitch, the court and the track. Here is a roundup of the latest results from the PE Faculty. Football Successes: The Year 11 Boys football team produced a fantastic display to reach the U16 County Cup Quarter Finals. While all 15 squad members contributed superbly to the team effort, special mention must go to Frankie and Myles, who were named Players of the Match after scoring two spectacular long range strikes. Ollie and Sammy also found the net to complete the scoring. Meanwhile, the Year 7B team showed true grit in wet conditions to secure their second win in the district league against CDS. A great goal from David and a composure-filled penalty from Player of the Match, Zak, secured the victory.  Athletics Achievements: Our Year 7 Athletics teams have seen their dedication pay off after training hard on Thursdays throughout the term. At the TR&W SSP Indoor Athletic Meeting, the Girls’ team took home a brilliant 1st place, while the Boys’ team finished a strong 3rd. We also have a massive individual achievement to celebrate. Theo (Year 7) has been crowned the U13 South of England Shot Put Champion at the Lee Valley Indoor Track. In what was his first-ever indoor competition, Theo smashed his personal best by 50cm. He also showed great pace on the track, reaching the semi-finals of the U13 60m sprint and missing out on the final by a heartbreaking 0.06 seconds. Basketball Season Opener: The basketball season got off to a super start with a thrilling game against Rickmansworth School. In a contest between two evenly matched sides, our team came out on top, led by a fine performance from captain Seth. Congratulations to all pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship!
