From the Art Room
There was great attendance to the lunchtime Art clubs this week. Feel free to join us on a Monday for KS3 Art if you are in year 7, 8 or 9.
Due to the popularity of the GCSE Art club on Tuesday lunchtimes, there is now an additional, new workshop every Thursday from 4-5pm for year 10 and 11 Art students.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!

News from the Prep School
It has been a very busy week in Prep School, with lots of fun lessons and some naughty pirates taking over our Assembly….!
Infants are learning all about the Titanic and getting to use their new ship in their classroom to inspire their writing. I’ve seen ceramics being made in our pottery studio ready for our 70th anniversary celebrations; Roman villages and famous landmarks being built; royal match-making challenges being undertaken for Henry VIII and his six wives and Stone Age diaries and recounts being written!
Infants News sent separately.
Please do take a look at our socials to get a glimpse of life this week in the Prep School –
