House Basketball Competition

Our PE department have been busy organising the House Basketball Competition at lunchtimes.

Last week saw Year 7 boys and girls competing and this week it is the turn of students in Year 8 to show their sporting prowess. As we move closer to Christmas there will be tournaments for Year 9, Year 10 and Year 11 before we conclude with what is sure to be a magnificent showdown between House teams made up of Sixth Form students and staff.

Here are some images from recent games. The eagle-eyed amongst you will spot a range of super heroes spectating and giving advice to Year 7 students whose match took place on BBC Children In Need day. We would like to thank Hulk Hogan, Batgirl, Mrs Incredible, Wonder Woman and Superman in particular for taking a break from saving the world to support our students!









Mrs Incredible, Superman and Wonder Woman cheer on Griffin House's Year 7 team.

Year 8 Parents' Evening Competition

Thanks to all those parents and carers who were able to attend the Year 8 Parents' Evening on Tuesday 18th November. 

We appreciate that it is not always easy to juggle home and work commitments in order to be present at events such as this. The opportunity to come in and talk to your child's teachers is, however, vital in order to ensure that we work together to ensure the best possible progress for every student.


Every Parents' Evening acts as a House Competition with the highest percentage of parental attendance earning 20 House Points.

Results for Year 8 Parents' Evening were as follows:

1st place and 20 House Points : Braveheart House
2nd place and 15 House Points : Griffin House
3rd place and 10 House Points : Viking House
4th place and 5 House Points : Phoenix House
