How should we decide which people from our past to commemorate?
There has been a great deal of discussion recently about monuments to Britain’s past, such as the names of buildings and streets, and especially statues. You are probably aware of the protests which resulted in the statue of Edward Colston being pulled down in Bristol, and others being damaged elsewhere. People have put forward strong views on both sides of this debate.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to record themselves and send in their performances for this Online Performer Series. We have been overwhelmed by the initial response to our call for videos for our first ever online concert and will therefore be putting our other entries into a series of future online concerts for you all to enjoy.

Such joy and pleasure on Thursday evening at the House Drama competition where once again we were treated to three superb yet different plays by Sidmouth, Palmer and Cedars. On the theme of Temptation; the snake beguiled me and I did eat, we watched Simouth’s psychological drama, Palmer’s comedic interpretation and Cedars political view of the theme.
As always, World Book Day was eagerly anticipated and well supported here at Kendrick. Every student was presented with a World Book Day Book Token which entitles them to free small book or £1 off a book of their choice.
