Outstanding Success in LAMDA Exams

 

Thursday 13th March marked another successful day of LAMDA exams, with everything running smoothly thanks to the dedication and support of the Drama faculty, our LAMDA teachers as well as Mrs Hobbs.  Their hard work and kindness ensure these exams run seamlessly, allowing students to showcase their talents at their best.

 

The event also highlighted the remarkable talent within the school, not only in LAMDA disciplines but also in school productions. Among the standout students were Grade 8 candidates Tabi P and Emma S, who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and brilliance throughout their studies. Their commitment to excellence has been truly commendable.

 

This round of exams saw Gold and Silver students performing for an examiner, an incredible achievement. These advanced-level qualifications are exceptionally challenging, requiring extensive training and dedication. Beyond their artistic value, they also provide students with UCAS points for university applications and equip them with invaluable life skills. Many candidates have progressed through every grade to reach this milestone, making their success even more impressive.

 

Pictured is Rosa P, a Grade 8 Gold Acting exam candidate who achieved a distinction, alongside Sarah Golding, one of our dedicated LAMDA teachers. Rosa’s success is a testament to the hard work and talent nurtured within our school.

Congratulations to all students who took part in the exams - your achievements are truly inspiring!

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!
