    • Remembrance Day Commemoration

      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.

    • Year 10 Trip to Germany 2022

      Published 08/11/22

      The MFL trip to Germany could not have been any better. Not only was it a perfect opportunity to practice our speaking skills but also to dive into German culture, especially the cuisine! We were fortunate to have visited beautiful locations like castles, with a lot of walking, but to socialise with our German host families too. This experience was the perfect way for us to step out of our comfort zones even if it meant being corrected by your host family!  We thoroughly enjoyed and will cherish the six days with our teachers and our schӧne coach driver, Chris, who even learnt German with us along the way.

    • Year 10 Trip To France 2022

      Published 08/11/22

      After waking up in the early hours of the morning, we embarked on a 12-hour journey, which was the start of our week- long adventure. A fascinating part of the journey was the Eurotunnel Le Shuttle which is a really fast train that transported our coach from England to France. Onboard the shuttle, we could get off the coach and stand in a large room whilst it was moving. It took us around half an hour to get from Dover to Calais which was quicker than we expected.

      It was the first live Upper School and Sixth Form Chamber Concert since the pandemic.  Featuring students from Years 10 - 13, organised and led by GCSE Music students with minimal help from the teachers, it allowed them to take on more responsibility and learn about the different aspects of staging a concert. They’ve enjoyed learning about sound and lighting, as well as all the essential roles such as advertising, programming, running rehearsals, stage management and the list goes on…

    • Halloween Celebrations

      Published 04/11/22

      We have been celebrating all things spooky in the library by highlighting some ghostly books, displaying some ghastly bookish puns and giving students the opportunity to enter our Halloween Quiz. The response was amazing, with about a dozen students getting all the answers correct! (We might have to make next year’s quiz more difficult!)

    • National Poetry Day Celebrations

      Published 03/11/22

      In order to celebrate National Poetry Day, the Kendrick English Department held a hugely popular and successful ‘Fridge Magnet Poetry’ event for the school, where students were invited to find inspiration for some poems of their own, and enter them into a competition.

      Magnetic poetry consists of individual words on cut-out magnetic ‘tiles,’ which, as the name suggests, are stuck onto a metallic surface and rearranged at will to form various sentences. The tiles do not have to be magnetic (ours were not!) but being able to move the words around allows you to experiment with space, order, and structure, often leading to surreal yet potent metaphors which then serve as prompts for further writing.

    • A Lecture by Lady Justice Andrews

      Published 19/10/22

      ‘What if you had to defend a murderer?’ This is often one of the first questions posed to prospective Law students who often do not have an answer. Isn’t Law about justice and using the judiciary to ensure innocent people are defended whilst the perpetrators are locked up? On Wednesday 28th September, Lady Justice Andrews gave a talk on her journey into Law whilst answering some of these questions.
