This half term, our Year 7s have been studying the classic story about the original grouchy Grinch – Ebenezer Scrooge. Last week Philip, from Booster Cushion Theatre, came to perform Charles Dickens’ seasonal story with the help of our fabulous students.
Philip’s visits are a regular part of our curriculum, and he enjoys his visits as much as we do!

Celebration of Achievement
Last night, we had our annual Celebration of Achievement Evening. Over 90 pupils, past and present, were invited to attend and have their achievements publicly acknowledged. As always, it was a lovely evening and an opportunity to reflect on what achievement is and what does that look like for different people. Thank you to the families who attended and to ALL our families for the work you do, day after day, to support your child to grow, develop and to become the best version of themselves that they can.
Here are some photos from last night's Ceremony.
Thank You to the ladies at Simply Flowers (South Ruislip) for the donation of two wonderful flower arrangements for Celebration of Achievement Evening. www.flower-site.co.uk

On Tuesday 12th November our school community participated in Odd Socks Day as part of
Anti Bullying Week. We delivered a message of individuality, acceptance and tolerance, which what being an odd sock is all about!
Dear Families
This week our Scouts and Explorers held a Ceremony of Remembrance. Three Leaders, fourteen Scouts, and fourteen Explorer Scouts formed up very smartly on parade, lowered the flag in respect and observed the 2 minutes' silence whilst standing at 'Alert'. The 'maroons' that were fired on Coney Green could be clearly heard and added an additional element to the ceremony.
Dance Workshop
Before half term students took part in a Musical theatre dance workshop with the Dance days instructor Harrison and Miss Kalia. They performed routines to Mama Mia, Matilda the musical and The Greatest Showman. They had a great time trying new moves and worked hard to remember all the steps.
'It was quite fun, exciting and interesting'
"We liked the music."
"I loved it" (Yousef)
"It was fantastic, I want to do it again" (Chris)

Boomerang Club
Last Friday we welcomed back our ex-students to our first Boomerang session of this academic year.
It was great to see so many ex-students returning, sharing their experiences from their new colleges, passing driving tests and work life.
We are hoping to hold our next Boomerang session in February. We look forward to seeing you all again and hearing all your exciting news.

On Friday 18th October all students had the opportunity to wear red to show their support for Show Racism the Red Card - a leading UK charity providing anti-racism education within schools.
Students participated in various activities during the morning, including learning about what makes us similar and unique, discussing how we must treat people with respect and kindness and continuing to develop positive attitudes towards diversity.
All the students enjoyed the day!
