      On Remembrance Day, the Geography Department took 14 Year 12 pupils to the Reading Schools Model COP27 conference. It was an incredible opportunity to debate with pupils from local schools about global issues relating to climate change.

      The event was organised by InterClimate Network with support by Reading Climate Change Partnership and hosted by Reading Borough Council in their council chambers.  Each group was given a country briefing for prior research, so we were able to deliver pre-prepared opening statements.The event was opened by the Mayor of Reading who urged us to take climate action.  Kendrick represented Egypt (the hosts!), India and the USA, and getting into the mindset of these countries emphasised the international severity of the climate crisis.

      On Wednesday 9th November, we held House Chess for Year 8 and Year 9 in the school hall. Managing to fill every seat to compete in competitive chess games, Year 8 and Year 9 participated in tantalising matches throughout the lunch break to contribute to their House’s point total. Although not everyone claimed a match, all students were eager to play against their opposition and gave each move their best.

      Published 11/11/22

      At a whole school assembly this morning, we remembered the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life through the many wars and conflicts.  We remembered the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those who lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.

      Students in the 6th Form, Darja, Rosie, Janelle and Ellie, spoke about the symbols of Remembrance, the red poppy, but also other poppies that can be and are worn: purple, black and white poppies.
